It seemed that a lot of the confused were older judging from their profile pics. I know when I've shown my grandparents how to navigate the internet it's a lot easier to just set Google as their home page and tell them to type in what they want to see.
On the surface it seems to be a usability issue, but there's only so much you can do to help people who don't even really understand the internet and computers.
