I am looking for xxxx can be either of the two ways below.

Busco xxxx

Estoy buscando xxxx (this form really emphasizes that you are right in the middle of the searching process).

The Spanish does not need the "for"...buscar = to look for. You could consider the "for" as being built in to the verb itself...if looking at it that way would help.

I thought I understood the question until I read your answer. Please don't leave us in the dark! - Sabor, Dec 18, 2010
"for" - lorenzo9, Dec 18, 2010
"I am looking for xxxx." is right though. - lorenzo9, Dec 18, 2010
Surely "Buscar" is an appropriate verb here? - lagartijaverde, Dec 18, 2010
But not "Buscar for" - pesta, Dec 18, 2010
