I particularly like it at the bottom it makes it easier for one-handed use.

DND icon is still in the quick panel. You can add it back to quick settings. Pull down, tap the pencil and edit the top box.1746411129351.jpg

The mandatory search in apps at the bottom of the page doesnt seem to be moveable.

 

I like a lot of what the update had to offer.  Moving the app search bar wasn't one of them.  After updates I often find myself rearranging things back the way I liked them.  I'm going to make a new AOD design, because the analog clock now forces me to have numbers, i like seeing my days task there now though.  And moving the widget size is a lot easier.   What really grinds my berries though is that I can't seem to move this search bar in the apps back to the top.  I'm not sure who this is easier for, it isn't me.  Let me have my customization back.  We now know you can move it, give us the option then.  Middle of the page works better for my Dexterity than where it is on the bottom.  I've almost toppled my phone a few times today.  And the update was a surprise on a sunny Thursday morning.

 

I'd rather be outside enjoying the sun than trying to we my app search bar.  I use that function no less than 5 times an hour during a work day.

I don't understand why a person would need to use the app panel search bar that many times in a hour or a work day. I think you could solve that by adding them to the home screen on a separate page, or multiple pages and I don't mean the main home page, you can add as many home screen pages as you want. Each page can handle 20 apps if set to 4x5 layout or 24 apps if set to 4X6. I have my main home page set up with the most common ones I use and a second page with the not so common ones that I don't use that often. You could set up page 2 or page 3 to your most common apps used at work and the next page you not so common used ones for work. It would be easier to swipe a page or two to find an app then having to type up, or even ask for, a search of the apps.

I personally don't like app icons all over my main screens on my S23. After the update, the search bar is on the bottom of apps screen page. Why on earth they didn't include an option to move it back to the top? That was just stupid.

I don't know who the stupid to decide not to have an option to go back to the top.

If they dont fix this I wont use Samsung anymore. Its concerning when a company makes a blunder such as this, but more so that they havent scurried yo rectify it. Just trying to keep cramming it down peoples throat, "oh but its more streamline and functional".
