The signature is this:
(text-property-search-forward PROPERTY
&optional VALUE PREDICATE NOT-CURRENT)
The arguments should be described in order.
But the first line of the doc string - the most important - says this:
Search for the next region of text where PREDICATE is true.
Not only is PREDICATE optional; it is not even the first optional arg.
The first line should describe the _default_ behavior (nil VALUE, nil
PREDICATE). Something like this:
Search forward for text where PROPERTY is non-nil.
Then go on to introduce, first VALUE, then PREDICATE, then NOT-CURRENT.
