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.
