Also means
to nose around
Usage Note
Curiosear means to poke around or browse out of curiosity — in a shop, on someone's phone, or in a room. It is informal and carries a mild sense of nosiness: no curiosees mis cosas (don't go snooping through my things). Unlike investigar, it implies idle curiosity rather than a deliberate search.
Examples
"Me gusta curiosear en las librerías viejas."
Natural Translation
I like to browse around in old bookshops.
Literal Translation
To-me pleases to-browse in the old bookshops.
