Seek, seek after, seek for

Only 'seek' alone is correct if you are a careful user. 'Seek' means 'look for/after'.

Mr. Mica weber, Thank you for your reply. I believe you are right, for I looked up the dictionary Collins Cobuild before i asked this question, and could not find any other explanation apart the word ' seek' . But what confuses me is that I am reading a book called Lincoln the Unknown, there is a sentence used seek after, the context is as below, ' but in Fort Harrod Lucy was quite as pretty, qu

Resplenda. She was SOUGHT AFTER, and flattered.' then I guess the word ' after' here is only used to emphasize the fact that she was so wanted by men who had seen her ?

I think that is a kind of idiom, 'to be sought after', Resplenda. In any case you will find other instances of seek for/after. It is common enough informally.

Yes, i have seen 'seek for' and ' seek after' quite a few times. Are there any differences between these two, if I may ask?

Cheers

I can think of none except the case you have already presented: 'Sought after' = highly desired.

Cool, thank you sir!
