Courser of Kruphix / Lantern of Insight and searching effects with respect to the IPG

Courser of Kruphix / Lantern of Insight and searching effects with respect to the IPG

Situation:

AP controls the following:
- Courser of Kruphix (or any other lantern of insight type effect)
- Polluted Delta
*on top of library*
- Breeding Pool

AP activates Polluted Delta, and seeing a breeding pool on top, takes it to truncate the search. After “searching”, they shuffle their library, and present to NAP.

This would technically be a violation of 401.5 – Playing with the top card revealed.

My question is as follows:
Is this a GRV or a HCE?

Would this change if they performed the search and chose to take the card on top?
