Search for a top stylist (4)

I believe the answer is:

comb

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'search' is the definition.
(I know that comb is a more specific form of the action search)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for comb that I've seen before include "Arrange" , "Common hair tidier" , "Device with teeth - store for honey" , "Go over" , "Search methodically" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
