"... Steve decided to seek out some information..." Thank you.

0 This is the example given under the entry of the phrasal verb 01i00seek out 02i00in my dictionary. The definition of 01i00seek out 02i00is said to be 01i00to look for someone or something, especially for a long time until you find them02i00.01i00 02i00So does it mean that it takes a lot of time for Steve to obtain information on accommodation in the area? Second, shouldn't the pronoun 01i00he 02i00appear after the proper noun 01i00Steve02i00 ? Thank you. 02br
