Seeker means = खोजी
Explanation:
The word "seeker" means, one who seeks something. In spiritual terms it is related with 'one who is seeking God, or Salvation....' In Hindi खोजी is the word - an adjective - that denotes one who is in search of something.

What Rawal Saheb said about "SEEKER" is true i.e. जिज्ञासु, अन्वेषक, सत्यान्वेषक. Still, I reiterate that a जिज्ञासु, अन्वेषक, सत्यान्वेषकare in search for someting, hence they are explicitly called खोजी. A जिज्ञासु is curious to learn or find something. Similarly अन्वेषक is engaged in investigating something. Whereas, सत्यान्वेषक is on look out for the 'Truth'. The words - जिज्ञासु, अन्वेषक, सत्यान्वेषक are thus relative to one's endeavour of seeking or finding something. In essence all these three are in search of something, hence they could be called 'Seeker' or खोजी.

agree  chaman4723: Though the aqbove term has been used in a certain context only itcanbe applied to other fields as well. We also say a seeker after truth etc. which encompasses the terms suggested by Rawal Ji.
