NSSearchField is an NSTextField subclass, which uses an NSTextFieldCell subclass (NSSearchFieldCell) to actually do most of the work. As such it uses the current field editor. So you'll have to subclass NSSearchFieldCell, add an instance variable in which you create your NSTextView subclass, and return that from -fieldEditorForView:. If you have a XIB, you can just change the "custom class" of the NSSearchFieldCell to your subclass, otherwise you are probably best off subclassing NSSearchField as well and calling setCellClass: on that.
It's a bit more subclassing than one would expect, but each subclass implements about one method, so it's a bunch of really simple subclasses.
