It is sometimes said that seeking enlightenment prevents us from finding it. Is this true? If so, why?

it does depending what you hope to find, if you grasp after a ball in water, it moves further away, by accepting it is there, you open your arms, so making the ball flow to you.

If the process of enlightenment is to have more, then that isn't enlightenment, as you have less thought, less clutter in mind body and state of living then most peoples you see in chaos, from not knowing them self’s.

Also depends how you seek it; me daily since discovering and understanding more of the commandments also being dimensions, to understand and walk up theses as steps....
So in seeking that way, you are seeking a kingdom of heaven that is wisdom and unconditional love being oneness in all, with God in the middle of transcendental thought patterns.
As to have passed through the others dimensions in thought, allows you to conceive how great the kingdom of heaven really is. As it is here yet not and apart of everything in Zen or the energy we see surrounding it all.

Sort of like the light of heaven, makes the many rainbows in life.

Seeking enlightenment is the first sign that someone is generally confused about the nature of things, in my experience. They hope for something more. However, people chasing enlightenment don't harm anyone. Its only after they think they've found it that the nonsense begins. ;)

Nice rant. But what do you think about the question in the OP? Does seeking enlightenment prevent us from finding it? If so, why? If not, why not?
