i'm trying to replicate the functionality of spotlight using an embedded 
NSSearchField inside an NSMenu.
when a search is performed, i add NSMenuItems to the NSMenu.  when you perform 
a search in spotlight,
the first search result is highlighted and you can immediately use the up/down 
arrows to traverse the
results.  i'd like to do the same by highlighting the first result in my NSMenu 
(which is an NSMenuItem).
since spotlight has the same behavior, then it seems like an experience a user 
is familiar with.
