Several taps of C-s get more and more of what we were searching for. All
well and good.
Two taps of C-l put the cursor at the top of the screen.
Several taps of C-s get more and more of what we were searching for. All
well and bad... because what if we want to stay at the top of the screen
while doing that... C-s insists on putting us back in the center of the
screen! (Which is usually good. However perhaps after two taps of C-l,
it should stay at the top during the next search or something.)

Hi Dan,
Alan Mackenzie implemented the C-l behavior within isearch back in 2003, so
I'm copying him on this response.
Alan, is there a safe and easy way to support the described behavior?
John

I think that sounds like surprising and unintuitive behaviour for such a
central command, so I'm closing this bug report.
