Interface Builder can easily make a small variant of
NSSearchField—it's right there in the size popup—but I can't manage
to reproduce the effect in code. The typical approach doesn't work:
[[searchField cell] setControlSize:NSSmallControlSize];
does nothing
, cellSizeForBounds: doesn't give
you the size you want.

The small control clearly has a different overall look—for instance,
the magnifying glass icon has a smaller variant which I do not see.
Also, when
= cellSize.height;
[searchField setFrame:searchFrame];
If you don't set the font first, cellSizeForBounds: doesn't give
you the size you want.

BTW, this is now filed as
rdar://5791056 [NSSearchFieldCell] Does not properly honor calls to
-setControlSize:
Thanks again for everyone's help debugging this issue!

OK, I figured it out. My control's frame was too tall!
If you set the search field's frame
