One conducting a search (6)

I believe the answer is:

seeker

(Other definitions for seeker that I've seen before include "Missile target locator" , "(Missile) target searcher" , "One trying to find" , "One attempting to find" , "One who pursues and searches for" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
