What is this search on my credit file?

Just checking my credit file on Noddle, and one of the recent search entries is:

Capital One Bank (Europe) Plc (Ml, Sa, Sr, Cval)
Money Saving Expert Powered By Capital One(Cr Api)

Quotation Search

Anyone know what this is about, or how it's related to MSE? Is it classed as a 'hard search'? I don't recall doing anything that would have lead to it appearing on my credit file.

Looks like a soft search to me

That's a soft search. Did you run a credit card eligibility check on MSE recently?

That's the thing, I don't think I did use eligibility checker. I don't remember going any further than browsing the list of best deals, but I suppose it's possible that I could have done.
