There are two common words for 'seek' in Japanese. These are 探す (sagasu) and 求める (motomeru). 探す (sagasu) is used for concrete things, while 求める (motomeru) is typically used for abstract ideas.

Examples:

  • 私はスミスさんとおっしゃる方を探しておりますが (watakushi wa sumisu san to ossharu kata o sagashite orimasu ga) - "I am seeking a Mr. Smith." or "I am looking for a Mr. Smith."
    The above is an example of the incredibly polite language called 'keigo'.
  • 私達は真実を求める(watashitachi wa shinjitsu o motomeru) - "We seek the truth."
