the full name is com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

Thanks for all that confirmation as I was faithfully trying to understand
the OP's original problem and the answers provided thereafter.
You helped me understand the issue better, where with respect to the
specific package <com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox>, I can see how
it could be useful for those who wish to make one-tap homescreen shortcuts
to (some of the many) Google Activities that it seems to call up.
For those who don't know what we're talking about, with Muntashirakon App
Manager you can make a shortcut to any public Activity in an app.
Since the <com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox> lists those (presumably
public) Activities, you can use Muntashirakon with that app to call them up
with a one-tap homescreen shortcut.
Thanks Andy for helping clarify the OP's situation. Much appreciated.
