It seem to climb with each item found in a quest. You can check yourself by clicking on the just friends box and noting your current score. Then work a quest and check again. If it is per item found in questing then those who have played a long time have a tremendous advantage because they have collected points for event quests that you may never have seen.

Also note that while their experience level does not correlate to "seeker" score it does show that you need to be above level 200 before you have a chance of being on the list.
