This is an old discussion, I know, but I couldn't resist posting something that I have just found. I, too, used to believe that "seek", as a verb, does not accept a preposition after it. But Oxford dictionary says that in British English, it is acceptable:

seek for something/somebody (British English):"They sought in vain for som
