Exegesis
The participle periagōn {περιάγων | periágōn} introduces a circumstantial clause “as he went about,” describing his disoriented movement, while the imperfect ezētei {ἐζήτει | ezḗtei} expresses continuous past action, highlighting an ongoing, desperate search.
In context — Acts 13:11
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun until a season. Immediately, then, mist and darkness fell upon him, and going about, he was seeking those to lead him by the hand.
