From everything I've read it looks like the move to 7.1 (and removal of specific templates in favour of design styles) means header search is now gone. Same story with the Sidebar. Both features no longer seem to be supported which is super disappointing. 
The irony is that the Squarespace's own sites use both of these features (header search and sidebar) heavily.
They are great features, please bring them back. 

I did the same this past month because it's utterly ridiculous that it's not included in the 'new' hype version, and was told the same. But someone on mgmt did reach out, though they didn't make any promises. It's a pain in the butt. I was also asking about recipe inserts - you know the easy inserts where people can print the recipe if they want? For blogs this is all fairly basic functionality and options. Not the kind of thing I want to be paying for and not have.
 

I spoke to a representative at SqSp last year about it, and was told that it was a "good idea", and that he would forward my request to engineers. 😒 I thought he was joking. They obviously have plans to roll out this feature since the controls are there, but I don't know why they're sitting on it.

 

What's even more confounding, is that the controls are there. They simply don't work as yet. Social sharing is such an integral part of marketing for most of us, and it would seem to me that implementing this function should have been at the top of the list of things-to-do for the Squarespace team. 

I can't believe you need to use code to create share buttons and also the fact that it's not included in the basic package. Is there a way to submit a request to squarespace for them to change this?? it's 2020, absolutely crazy for this to be considered "extra" and for it to have to be done through code....

I agree these are ugly. We need the option to change colours and create something less intrusive. This should be base-standard with Squarespace and can't believe it's not on 7.1!

I really wish Squarespace would hurry up and roll out this feature. The ShareThis buttons are ugly and criminally outdated. They looked cool in 2009, not so much now.
