It's not undocumented.

pindex(PATH_SCRIPT)
pindex(NO_PATH_SCRIPT)
pindex(PATHSCRIPT)
pindex(NOPATHSCRIPT)
cindex(path search, for script argument to shell)
item(tt(PATH_SCRIPT) <K> <S>)(
If this option is not set, a script passed as the first non-option argument
to the shell must contain the name of the file to open.  If this
option is set, and the script does not specify a directory path,
the script is looked for first in the current directory, then in the
command path.  See
ifnzman(noderef(Invocation))\
ifzman(the section INVOCATION in zmanref(zsh)).
