I tested this on a table with 350,000+ records and a compound index and the seek and locate were about the same speed. I would expect this since the locate is rushmore and the index. But why does LOCATE(which uses the index) work and SEEK(which also uses the index) does not?

SEEK requires to have index tag, and LOCATE may use (for optimization) or not use index tag.
