The search controls on Special:AbuseLog now consumes the majority of the screen. Can an collapse control similar to the one at Special:Contributions be added to allow this to be hidden?

Yes, this is a good idea, and something that I was already planning to do. The change itself is straightforward -- HTMLForm::setCollapsibleOptions is our friend. My only question is *when* should the form be collapsed? Always? Only if there's at least a non-default value? Only if a specific value is != default? And perhaps, always collapse the form if this is not the first result page?
I think these options are all very easy to implement, the only difficult thing is picking one. It doesn't have to be perfect from the beginning and we can change it later, but perhaps we could start with something that at least a bunch of people would agree on.
I would just give it the same behaviour as the "filter revisions" on the history page => collapsed
I can speak for my usage at meta, and enWS, my usual filters would be via following links, or through regular urls. I hardly use any of the options regularly through application of field data being added and hitting search.
Plus we call it a search, is it? All seems like filtering to me.
