You can beat 90% of those games without exploring

You can, which is why they're categorized as "stage clear" games by Nintendo. The ultimate goal is still just to beat the level.

But if you're enough of a gamer that you'd actually encounter the phrase "search action," you've probably done a lot of exploring in those games. Same with something like DKC, which prides itself on having tons of hidden collectibles.

And if you have to describe what it is to someone with "you know, like Metroid," you might as well just stick with Metroidvania.
