Good afternoon,
Following some joint investigation with the design team, we figured out what's what. The superscript 3 that designates that a ranged weapon imparts its properties to a ranged weapon almost always* accompanies an effect that would change an arrow's damage type or damage value, including flaming, holy, et cetera. As SKR noted in my conversation with him, the seeking property was originally on the sling of seeking in a previous edition and was pulled as a stand-alone special ability for Pathfinder, so the intention is certainly there that it should impart this property to its ammunition.
In brief, seeking longbows and the like are valid and effective.

Mr. Compton,
Tonight, during gameplay, Mr. Risner emphatically stated that the weapon property "seeking" would not apply to my arrows fired from my bow. My character is a 5 th level divine hunter paladin. Seeking is specifically stated as an option under the divine bond for the divine hunter. When you state, "in brief, seeking longbows and the like are valid and effective," do you mean a seeking longbow imparts the weapon property to ammunition fired from the weapon? It is specifically Mr. Risner's belief that seeking is valid and effective on weapons thrown at the target or ammunition that has been inchanted and then fired at the target. I am only seeking to finally put this issue to rest. I am broaching this issue with you because Mr. Risner referenced this thread, your name, and Mr. Reynold's name during the conversation during which he reached his conclusion.
Thank you,
Mr. Brunson
