Heya Kingcjc, did you notice the vertical drawer on Special Pages that allows you to collapse the sidebar so the special page fills the whole 1000 pixel width of the page as it always did? That will help resolve your space issue I hope. :) As for the search bar, I agree, its become abundantly clear that this is a useful thing to have on the special pages and we're going to work on a fix soon to add the search bar back on to these pages to make navigation easier.
