Exploration action is more acceptable, but search action is straight up garbage terminology because it's too nebulous. You could say that about a ton of video game genre names Action Adventure Simulation Strategy All of those refer to a specific style of game, and yet the terms can be used to broadly describe tons of games outside their recognizable descriptions.

It's not the description itself that matters, just only that people understand what the description refers to, which only takes convention to make happen. --- Okay, I rolled a 14. What's that mean?
