I appreciate your effort in this, Timothy
Searchmarquis.com is a browser hijacker that modifies the main search engine and other settings on your browser to make macOS running slow
Follow the below steps to remove them :
1.  Go to your Google Chrome browser’s settings.
2.  Type chrome://settings/ in your Chrome type bar.
3.  Then click on the Extensions tab.
4.  Find the Search Marquis extension (as well as any other unfamiliar ones).
5.  Remove Search Marquis by clicking on the Remove icon next to its name.
6.  Confirm and get rid of Search Marquis and any other suspicious items.
7.  Now, click on the three-dotted line in your Chrome upper right corner.
8.  Click on Settings.
9.  Scroll down to the Search Engine part.
10. Make sure that the Search engine used in the address bar is set to Google Chrome.
Let us know if this resolved the issue.

Hello Midhun,
There was nothing indicating a threat was imminent or that a problem had occurred.  I had Google
Chrome as my default browser but every time I open it up, searchmarqui or bing appear instead of google.   
Steps I have taken to find the problem:
1- I looked through my apps and I didn't see any unknown apps.  
2- I deleted cache and history.   
3- I clicked on "Chrome" in the upper left side of computer, then "preferences", then "search engine", then "manage search engine".  Google was the only search engine listed.  It is the default search engine.
Still nothing has changed

Rakshith,
This did not help.  All unfamiliar extensions are removed. 

My search engine is set to:
 Google Search

When I reload, searchmarquis continues to load in the browser
