questers
Those pursuing goals
Questers are people who undertake a quest—a search or pursuit of something significant.
The word carries a slightly literary or fantastical tone, evoking knights seeking grails or adventurers chasing treasure: The questers set out at dawn.
In modern use, it can describe anyone engaged in purposeful seeking: spiritual questers, questers after truth.
