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?
A complete uninstall/restart/reinstall has not fixed this issue.
I'm on Ubuntu 10.04, using gnome, having downloaded google desktop from the google linux repositories...

It stopped working in Debian testing a while back. I opened Google Desktop Preferences and set the hotkey to Ctrl-F1.

There are some workarounds (via http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1442629)
Keep the Ctrl_L pressed for one second, in other words, here is the sequence I found:
- List item
- Press and hold Ctrl_L
- hold Ctrl_L for one second.
to make it disappear do the same thing... Also you can get the same results if you apply the same pattern while replacing _L with _R.
Also I found another way that might be simpler:
- Press and hold Ctrl_L
- DOUBLE Press and release Ctrl_R

The double press of the second key thing is my favourite workaround – Seamus – 2011-03-31T13:28:04.570
It looks like you are not the only one, this must be a bug.
