Doc string:
Search target for finding hi-lock patterns at top of file.
This is a variable. The description is confusing/unclear, because
"Search" is too easily parsed as a verb (as opposed to parsing "Search
target" as a noun phrase: the target of a search).
And explain: (a) what such a pattern is, (b) what "top of file" means,
and (c) what search is involved.

I agree, and I've now changed the doc string for Emacs 27.
