Re: Small variant of NSSearchField?

I've done all of these things, and so far no dice.

The small control clearly has a different overall look—for instance, the
magnifying glass icon has a smaller variant which I do not see. Also,
when I set the smaller frame, it's just using the big-size control and
cutting off its bottom edge, which looks dumb.

I also tried calling -sizeToFit but this had no effect.

Any other ideas?
