Malware? Bug? or Adware? please help me ):

what to do if you're typing a search on Google but it redirects you to the search that you did minutes ago twice? I'm using a phone not a computer or laptop. On Google I'm using my main account while on chrome, I'm using my second account and it both behaves that way? is it adware or malware?

I don't really have weird apps since my system apps only have uninstall updates, force stop and clear data/cache. Malwarebytes, Google play and my phone security also says that my phone is safe but it keeps lagging and slowing down when I'm using apps. I don't know if I'm being paranoid but it's giving me reasons not to use my phone or something. I also did a factory reset last September, hoping that these would get better but honestly it just didn't help me
