Because the cards are not revealed to an opponent. Any time you get to look at cards that no one else does its a search, it doesn't matter the number of cards that you're looking at, be it 1, 6 or the whole deck.
(At least, that's my opinion.)

I was told that the definition of look on these cards could change in the future. Could this be true?

It's been discussed among a few of the playtesters but there are more pressing issues that need to be resolved first.

what is the current rule than? Is look considered searching?
-
Yes, that is the current rule.
