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 to be more than 19 pixels tall, it
creates a large-sized variant even if you explicitly asked for the
small version. I was using 21 pixels, which is smaller than the
regular size of 22 pixels—so it was cropping pixels—but not small
enough, apparently.
This is entirely different from the rest of the controls in Cocoa,
which honor the requested NSControlSize no matter what frame you use.
You can make a mini NSButton with a 50-pixel tall frame, and it draws
just fine. (The button just centers itself within its frame.)
I'll file a radar on this since it's clearly inconsistent, but at
least there is a workaround! Thanks for the help, guys :)

It does seem to be order dependent. This works (though it does drop
the baseline a pixel)
[[searchField cell] setControlSize:NSSmallControlSize];
[searchField setFont:[NSFont systemFontOfSize:[NSFont
systemFontSizeForControlSize:NSSmallControlSize]]];
NSRect searchFrame = [searchField frame];
NSSize cellSize = [[searchField cell]
cellSizeForBounds:searchFrame];
searchFrame.size.height = cellSize.height;
[searchField setFrame:searchFrame];
If you don't set the font first, cellSizeForBounds: doesn't give you
the size you want.

I've done all of these things, and so far no dice.
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 I set the smaller frame, it's just using the big-size
control and cutting off its bottom edge, which looks dumb.
I also tried calling -sizeToFit but this had no effect.
Any other ideas?

Hey John -
IB also typically changes the cell's font, and the control's frame
when you use the pop up in the control size inspector.
Hope that helps -

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 at all, though this does shrink almost any other
control type I can think of.
I searched the archives and found that another user had this
problem in mid-2007, but there was no solution posted.
Any ideas?
