You can actually search in the little bar there for any wikipedia article to show related stuff, and as kind of a little easter egg, you can specify a starting page via the query string, e.g.

This little wikipedia search bar is hiding nodes from the graph most of the time. It bothers me a little.

We tried a few combinations -- and may try some yet. If it was further right it threw off the balance of the layout. If it was up at the top it drew too much attention to itself. We tried messing with the z-index on hover too, but that looked funky.

I thought it would be nice if the user could drag it around.
