search party

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'seekers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'look for politicians' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'search' (synonyms).
'for politicians' becomes 'party' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'search'+'party'='SEARCH-PARTY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for search party that I've seen before include "seekers" , "Group looking for person or thing" , "hunters" , "Group seeking a lost person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
