The tab bar is nowhere near deep enough for the search box, not to
mention the fact that the tab bar is already getting a bit wide
without adding anything more to it.

This is mainly a problem for people that aren't logged in - the big
box on the left that describes OSM vanishes if you are logged in. The
conference announcement also doesn't help but that will gone again in
a month.
