In this work, we explore what information people search for and why when using <a href="http://www.europeana.eu/portal/en">Europeana</a>, one of the world's largest aggregators of cultural heritage.</div></div><div><br></div><div>To gather these data, we implemented a pop-up survey in the Europeana site for the period of 2 weeks (21 March-4 April 2017). A total of 240 users participated in this survey. This dataset contains users' feedback on the two pop-up survey questions:</div><div>- Q4: "What information are you looking for?", and</div><div>- Q5: "Why are you looking for this information?"</div><div><br></div><div>The responses were annotated with the following: (i) the broad type of search task; (ii) the subject content of searches; and (iii) motives for searching and uses of the information found. </div><div><br></div><div><div>For more information on the methodology and categorisation schemes used for analysing the search requests, please see the following paper: Clough, P., Hill, T., Paramita, M.
