I own a Note 4 personally. Are you able to take screenshots and post them here? The popup in question, along with screenshots of your Application Manager. We have to do some digging to find the obscure apk in question.

Can't be sure without seeing your Application Manager screenshots, but that looks a lot like Clean Master built-in search engine.

Do you want screen shots of all of the apps on my application manager? It's several screenshots.

No edit button, I haven't used Clean Master in a long time, but when I did, it didn't have a built-in search engine. It may be new, it may be another app stealing the CM logo. Post your Application Manager screenshots and we can get this fixed.

@othermollie Uninstall Clean Master, install CCleaner, do a quick analyze & clean, let me know if it goes away.

Problem solved! Thank you! BTW after my last update to Marshmallow, when I go to application manager, it only shows a list of my apps. No longer shows choices of what's running, all apps, etc.

Good to hear. Yeah, the application manager is a little different on Marshmallow. I've recently updated as well. I think the new application manager is actually easier to navigate through when you're looking for malicious apps. In your case, it was good that it wasn't actually a malicious app. Just bloat.
