hi y'll
which is the right sentence
does this sentence make any sense to you
1 while i was in new york i decided to seek out a nice ring for my fiancee
2 while i was in new york i decided to seek out for a nice ring for my fiancee
3 while i was in new york i decided to look for a nice ring for my fiancee thanks
The second sentence is ungrammatical. There are too many prepositions in *seek outfor.
seek out and look for express similar meanings;i.e., actively search for something or someone, but the former, seek out, houses an additional meaning, extended search - the search might take longer.

Hi, Casiopea:
Then, "I am looking for the optimal constitions of the process" means exactly the same as "I am searching for the optimal constitions of the process"?
seek out
