Seeking

Would it make any sense to say:



"I'm seeking Mr. Jones."

THANK YOU.

It makes sense as everyone understands what is meant. However, seek is usually used to refer to something more abstract than Mr. Jones: He sought happiness all his life but never found it.

Yes, but you won't hear anyone say it. In ordinary conversation it's

I'm looking for Mr. Jones.
