Hi,
My colleague has a question raised by her high school seniors who want to know the difference between "in a quest" and "on a quest."   I say "in quest of" and "on a quest for," but they may be the same idea.  Also "in a quest" seems to be equivalent to being in the process of a quest.  Any thoughts?
