seeking
On the hunt
Seeking is the act of looking for or trying to obtain something.
It implies purposeful effort toward a goal: job-seeking graduates, seeking asylum, seeking answers.
The word carries a sense of active pursuit rather than passive waiting.
Someone seeking is in motion toward something not yet found or achieved.
