I have no idea how I can go about this, I have a NSTextField in which I would like the user to input text, then, whats found is highlighted in the NSTextView. Is this possible?

NSTextView (via its superclass NSText) lets you get at its contents as an NSString. NSString has methods for searching, and NSTextView has methods for highlighting a selected range. See the documentation and/or headers for these classes for details.
