There's nothing pre-made, but it's easy enough to make. Just create a view with a search field and the right looks embedded in it, then change its size with CoreAnimation (and maybe that of the content area). > Further, I'd like to be able to highlight the found text in a yellow box like > Safari does but again, I can't seem to find how to do that either. There's nothing generic, you'd have to do it by hand. But if you have an NSTextView (or can get at an NSTextField's field editor), you can use its -showFindIndicatorForRange: method.
