To look for = "chercher" ex: a job
To seek = " rechercher" ex: a solution
Next time tell us : " I would like .."
A+

There is no difference between "to seek" and "to look for".
"Seek" is very formal, almost obsolete. You will find it in the King James Version of the Bible. (Jesus said "Seek and ye shall find." )
"Seek" is also used in a technological sense. ("This computer's hard drive can perform a seek operation in under 2 seconds." "The Army uses heat-seeking missiles to destroy enemy planes." )
Otherwise, you should NEVER use "seek" !!! (Then again, one should never say "never" !!!) It's always "to look for" or maybe "to search for".
I don't think U2 would have had a hit song with "I still haven't found what I'm seeking."
