Navani Kholin becomes this when she starts working as a scholar, neglecting food and sleep in her search for the secrets of Investiture.There's also the Willshapers, who are often explorers and travelers. The Truthwatchers of The Stormlight Archive are said to be a whole order of these, as their first vow is to seek the truth.The protagonist of pretty much any novel by Janusz Zajdel is a guy (always), aged between thirty and fifty (except for Tim Warnel, who's fifteen) and either stumbles upon a mystery or is assigned to investigate something that turns out darker than expected.It turns out he had good upbringing and approximately thirty kinds of inherited or conferred destiny, so being qualified to be The Seeker is probably the least of his accomplishments, although it becomes more and more useful over the course of the series. Notably, in that respect Richard wasn't the Designated Hero - in fact, most of the previous Seekers were only politically-appointed, and the latest was only appointed because he deserved to be. The Sword of Truth series centers around the Seeker of Truth. Unfortunately, this attracts the wrong sort of attention, and he gets kidnapped by magic-eating monsters and has to be rescued. He has an innate desire to know and understand everything, but especially magic. Liza from Bones of Faerie, who lives a pretty ordinary life until she finds out she's having visions and has to flee her family, then realizes that there is far more to the war between humans and faeries than she thought.
