When I bind to an NSSearchField with option key=value pair
NSNullPlaceholderBindingOption="Search names", indeed "Search names"
is displayed in the search field whenever the bound keyPath is nil.
But it appears as normal black text which the user must overtype.
In contrast, the "Google" search field in Safari has disabled (gray)
text that disappears when the field becomes the key view. The search
field in Console.app has similar behavior.
I want my placeholder to behave like the ones in Safari and Console.
Is this behavior built in to NSSearchField, or did they subclass it
and write a little code? If it's built in, how do I get it?
