Hi! Is it possible to name a person who looks for the truth - truth-seeker or it should be done in a different way?
Thanks in advance.

I think it depends on what kind of 'truth' the person is looking for. Truth seeker is perfectly acceptable, but suggests that the person is searching for a higher, more philosophical truth, such as the nature of the universe, or the purpose of life.

Truth searcher may also be a possible variant. If it is used in the context of crime investigation I think it can be "fact seeker" as well.
