I wrote a NSWindowController subclass that has a method to handle
actions from its NSSearchField and can't figure out how to tell the
search field to send actions to this method in IB.

I'm not exactly sure what you're having trouble with, but if you're having the same "newbie moment" I was having just recently, the answer is that you need to mark your action handler in code with IBAction. For example, in the .h file:


- (IBAction) handleSearch;

Then when you load the class's .h file in IB, "handleSearch" will show up as a connectable action in the property Inspector. You should then be able to do the usual ctrl-drag from the NSSearchField to the NSWindowController to target that action.

If that doesn't help, you might consider being more specific about what you'd like to do, what you've tried, and why that doesn't work. It's possible my lack of experience with Cocoa is the reason I don't fully understand the question, but you shouldn't count on that. :)
