Dear Souhila,
Hope you are in pink of your health.
I am sorry, but I have never used or heard 'Seek for'.
My response to your question is as follows:
Look for:
Searching something which is lost or not visible. And you are searching that object using your eyes
For Example: I am looking for my mobile. It was in my bag but now it is not there.
Seek:
Searching something you need and you are not able to do/make yourself. Also, you are searching that using your sense/mind.
Example: I would like to seek your expert advice because my knowledge and common sense is insufficient in this regard
Or I am seeking job in a better company because i am not happy with the current work environment and I can not change the work environment
Hope, it will help you.
Should you need any further clarification, please send me a message separately.
Thank you
Om

Seek and look for have the same meaning. We do not use 'for,' after seek though. For example:
'He is looking for love,' but 'he seeks love.'

" Seek for " is not using in modern English. It is better to use "Seek". For example, The police are seeking information. However, there is a lexical difference between 'to seek' and ' look for'. 'Seek' is a pure verb and 'look for' is a phrasal verb.

'Do they have?' Not 'have they'
