I didn't say anything about boundaries. I only asked, why the block
selection is related to the search default when the block is a
persistent block. This is completely illogical and unintuitive. The
block maybe somewhere out of view of the user and is still used as
search default? Who wants such a behaviour? And for what reason?
Which is why I said it should/could be limited to only if the caret is
in/at the block.

ignore the block (if persistent).

Who wants the current behaviour? I doubt that anybody does. It is
completely illogical for persistent blocks (it may have some merit for
non-persistent blocks but not when blocks are persistent).
Your opinion... And maybe the opinion of others.
Anyway. I told you:
- What I will do on my own (no patch needed). For all else, I have a
huge list of things that to me have a higher priority.
- What patches I will accept.
If an other developer will implement something else, or accept other
patches, that is fine.
