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.

This is placeholder text. You can set it with the "placeholder" field on text input fields, or programatically using the setPlaceholderString on a NSTextFieldCell. _______________________________________________
