Traps on treasure cards

Quick query to anyone-

If you search a room for traps, then you search it for treasure and you draw a trap card, do you ignore that trap?

I would say no. The treasure cards are used if there is no specific treasure in the room. Think of it as a character opening
up a small box sitting on a desk, looking for a few gold coins within. It wouldn't be a specific treasure listed in the quest
notes. The box might have some sort of small trap on it, to keep the coins safe. It wouldn't be checked along with a Search
for Trap action, most likely.

In the American version they're labelled as Hazards rather than traps. Possibly to make them distinct from traps and not clash with trap searches. Either way, I would still apply them and consider them to be well-hidden.

Players have argued against this in the past.
