This app is available in Windows store, simply search for it. 🙂

Also, this app integrates with Windows 8 search charm. So, when accessing search charm (Windows key + F), an additional option of searching using Google Search will now be available. (To get a list of common keyboard shortcuts for Windows 8, please refer to this earlier article).
