I thought it was odd that you draw a dungeon card and get a crypt event that starts with the words " you may search the crypt...".

It would seem obvious that the crypt was found in the room you encountered although it does not say that. It almost sounds as though there is a crypt room somewhere that this card would be used in.

Am I just being to picky about the wording or am I missing something?

Rueswise, you are just being picky. There is no Crypt room, it is just a type of dungeon card which lets you draw from the crypt deck - identical to the Corpse mechanic.

We always explained that the dungeon room was itself a crypt, filled with corpses and the like.
