Always shuffle a searched deck, unless the card says NOT to shuffle.

Yeah, and that's more of a "look at the cards" ability and not so much a "search for something and get it" ability.

I thought John was classified under reveal? Am I just an idiot?

Reveal typically means every player sees the cards. With John only you get to see the cards. As to your second question, well...I shall withhold judgment.

A search card allows you to look at the cards in a deck, artifact pile, or a player’s hand.  Searching implies only you see the targeted card(s).  Reveal means that all players see the targeted card(s).

So no, John would not be a reveal ability, but a search ability.

Ah a Professoralstad post. Its always good to get your wisdom on the boards.

He's like an old habit...just keeps coming back...
