ubuntu-10.04-lts

Before I upgraded to ubuntu 10.04, when I pressed Ctrl twice, a search bar popped up that allowed me to google desktop search my system. This no longer works and I miss that feature. Can I get it back, somehow?

I'm on Ubuntu 10.04, using gnome, having downloaded google desktop from the google linux repositories...
