Comment (by afercia):

 Here's a couple videos, both recorded today on updated trunk local
 installations. First, the good news: with Firefox + NVDA (Windows 10)
 works pretty well

 There are a few things I'd recommend to consider:
 - when using the arrow keys to highlight the search results, what you've
 typed in the input field, in this case "templa", shouldn't get removed
 - the "highlighted" search results should have a much stronger color
 contrast, maybe inverting the colors?
 - at the end, when a link is successfully inserted, it's pretty clear the
 lack of an audible confirmation message

 - looks like the initial focus has a weird behavior, not sure what's
 really happening, sorry I'm afraid I can't be of much help
 - when using the arrow keys to highlight the search results, it just reads
 out the content of the input field ("sam") and then nothing (because "sam"
 gets removed); my only guess here it's that VoiceOver doesn't switch to
 "forms mode" for some reason

 Additional text with IE 11, not related to screen readers:
 - looks like the link insertion works only when placing the cursor in the
 middle of a word in the editor; instead, when selecting one or multiple
 words, the link doesn't get inserted
