Are you looking for the ability to search history easier? I'll agree 
that hgweb doesn't do that very well (that single textbox does work and 
I think it accepts python regexes to search through history). However, 
since history is local, hg comes with a command called "hg grep" which 
is rather useful in searching through history (tortoisehg provides a 
datamine feature to access this functionality through a gui). Also 
something to consider is the "hg bisect" command which allows you to 
find when a change appeared first through a interactive search.

What else does bonsai do that is missing in Mercurial?

I think bzr has pretty much the same functionality here anyways. Btw, if 
that isn't enough, you can always register a branch at bitbucket 
(www.bitbucket.org) for hg or launchpad for bzr (https://launchpad.net/)
