Hmm which internet meme should go here again?
I feel like this whole conversation is getting lost in a distinction without difference because the japanese word for search is pronounced "meh-toh-roh-ee" and the japanese word for action is pronounced "doh-vah-nee-ah"

Calling them search action is mimicking reddit rather than Japanese gamers, I’m afraid.

Hi!
Try to imagine the world where "Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment" would've become the big thing and achieved mass market success.

Souls-like is already a thing, but they're pretty "Search Action"-ish already. Instead of finding double jump, you just have to git gud.

but its def much better than "metroidvania"

metroidlike or w/e, fine, i can stomach it
metroidvania is epic fail

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
The genre owes a lot more to Symphony of the Night than Metroid at this point though.

I sort my Switch Metroidvanias into a folder labeled "Search Action". It's better than the Japanese term for shmups: STG, for "shoo-ting-game"
