I think scout should be the same except that it searches like 7 or so cards instead of 4.

That would be pretty amazing - that's a lab with a bonus.
That was a typo. It should be 'put 3 from your hand on top of your deck'. As I said, sort of like some reverse Warehouse.

Or what about:
+1 Action
Look at the top 4 cards of your deck.  Put them back in any order.
+1 Card

That actually fits with the name a little better, and I think might be an okay card, even at $4.  But maybe too similar to Cartographer?
What about a reverse Warehouse or Courtyard-like seeder card? :>
+1 Action
+4 cards
Put 2 cards from your hand on top of your deck.

edit: 3 cards, not 2. I suck at typing numbers. :-þ

Unfortunately, this kind of non-terminal Courtyard isn't a good idea in practice. Often you'd be chaining them, and it gets really tiresome repeatedly putting back cards that you immediately draw with your next copy. I know this from experience.

Well, it might still be better than scout and in the worst case it is 'draw the best card of your next four' and in the best case it is 'seed yourself with three cards you want next turn or do not need this turn (like that scout you want to chain :p) and follow up with a terminal'.
