For bonus cringeworthiness, the unfortunate search results may involve another character in-universe, revealing their OldShame, BleachedUnderpants, or past case of InstantHumiliationJustAddYouTube. This might lead to an awkward discussion of "IWasYoungAndNeededTheMoney." Shows that play with the fourth wall may have characters come across [[OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs uncomfortable fan works of themselves]].

* One of the authors in ''The Naked Truth: Sexual Purity for Guys in the Real World'' shares an anecdote when he was teaching his parents how to use the Internet by looking up Music/BarenakedLadies. Let's just say, most of the results had little to do with the actual band.

Close cousin to JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant and TheInternetIsForPorn. Sometimes the confusion is caused by a DoubleEntendre that the person executing the search was unaware of. They are very likely to find Rule34 related results. Someone may also tell them a term to search for as SchmuckBait.

* PlayedForDrama as part of [[spoiler:Kenzie's]] DarkAndTroubledPast in ''Literature/{{Ward}}''. After being separated from her abusive parents, she bounces around the foster system for a while until winding up with a loving couple who she genuinely likes and who help her with her mental issues. Sadly, one of her issues that she has little notion of boundaries, behaves impulsively, is desperately clingy, and at the time is too young to fully understand sexual activity. So when she searches the internet for "how to show someone you love them" and then ''carries out what she finds on her foster father'', it completely destroys their relationship, sends her back into the system, and the resulting trauma is bad enough that it causes her to trigger and gain powers as a [[spoiler:tinker specializing in cameras and surveillance]]. Tragically, this powerset just serves to reinforce her problems going forward up to the start of the story.
