   @jeryj I'm updating this as being for 7.2 as I don't see recent work for 7.1 and haven't heard it as being something underway. If that's wrong, please let me know!

   Let's go for 7.2. I could get some things in for this for 7.1, but it sounds like I'll be using my time to push some other things over the line instead.

    7.2 Update

    Link Searching has major upgrades now:

    • Search (not just navigation) returns banded relevant results, prioritizing content. It's easier to find the content you're looking for.
    • For Navigation blocks, search prioritizes your current content type but returns all matched searches. It's easier to create your navigation links.
    • Navigation search returns block results too, so you can add the Home link block quickly. Build your whole navigation in fewer clicks.

    I'm trying to get link editing in for the extensible sidebar before the deadline.

    All tasks are completed for 7.2 and some have been started for 7.3. I'll make a plan in #85148 to track 7.3.
