Right. I little time in the debugger and I answered my own question.
The description makes it sound more like NSFontManager's changeFont,
whereas its really much simpler :)
Thanks,

Hi Andrew,
Hm, the docs make this sound more special than it really is. I'll
file a bug.
The cancel button acts the same as the user selecting the text in the
field and deleting it. The usual action message is sent in the usual
way, and the stringValue of the control will be @"".

According to this page:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/SearchFields/Articles/ConfiguringTargetAction.html
Search fields also generate a secondary action message, one intended
to cancel the current search. When a user clicks the cancel button,
the action message is sent up the responder chain to the first object
that handles it. This object deletes the contents of the search field
and activates the control. It also checks for an empty string value,
which indicates that the search should be stopped.
That's nice and all, but is it really true? Do I need to set the
action sent up the responder chain? What's the default?
