Navigating the internet without growing up using computers can be a daunting task for some. A simple Google search can turn into an afternoon of frustration.

A fake and dormant Facebook page called Google Search App has been confusing loads of elderly and newbie Facebook users into thinking it's a real Google search engine, and it contains a whirlwind of emotions. It can be sort of sad watching people struggle with the concept of Googling. But it can also be pretty hilarious.

After landing on this page, people are posting their Google searches in the first box they see, which posts to the community section of the page.

Unfortunately, this can also be seen by just about anyone, revealing some pretty private and embarrassing Google search queries. And as you could imagine, there's also a whole bunch of trolling going on, which seems a bit cruel.

Some of them are just adorable.

But perhaps the best part about what's going down on the Facebook page is that some kind people are actually helping out the clueless people with their searches.

Be a good person, if you see someone struggling with the internet, help them.
