"It is not fame and fortune you came looking for."

"It is not fame and fortune you came looking for."

I have seen it in a movie and I was wondering if there is a meaning difference between the sentence and

"It is not fame and fortune you came to look for."

And is "come + verb+ ing" a possible and natural one? I usually say, "I came to see you ,etc."

What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as always and have a good day.
