searcher
One who hunts
A searcher is someone who searches—looking for something lost, hidden, or desired.
The word often implies sustained effort rather than a casual glance: Searchers combed the woods for the missing child.
In a figurative sense, a searcher pursues truth, meaning, or answers: a searcher after enlightenment.
