Hi! When I start browser it took a long time in search engine to find a result. And sometimes not find anything at all. It simply stops searching and the page seems to freeze. Furthermore, in the settings it says that "Your browser is being managed by your organization" and I don't know what that means or which organization it is. There is some document on the link and that's it.

What "Search" engine are you using? You don't give reference for one to know what is happening here? And what are you searching for?

"Google". And it doesn't matter what I'm looking for, it searches different things for a very long time and doesn't return any results. And speaking of which search engine I use: I just remembered that a couple of months ago I switched to "Duck and go" and now somehow it's back to "Google".

That's part of the problem you need to be on the google . com site itself if you want to do a correct search. Try that and see what happens.
