It's already possible to do this by typing in isearch:

  M-s h l
  M-n M-n M-n RET

because the third default value of hi-lock commands is
the last isearch string.

Its only difference is that it quits isearch, but I wonder
is it really useful to keep isearch active after running
this hi-lock command?
