To move the search bar, all you have to do is long-press on the address bar where an option "Move Address Bar to Top" will pop up. If you want to move it back to the bottom, you can do the same steps.

Safari users have had this ability since 2021, with the introduction of iOS 15. However, to toggle between the two address bar positions, users had to go into Settings. This is slightly more complicated than Google's new alternative.
If you are an Android user, unfortunately, Google shared with a news outlet that it does not have immediate plans to bring the feature to Android.
