My opinion, do this:
1. Open a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + T
2. Insert and run this command:
sudo apt-get install synaptic

3. Search for synaptic in the dash, or launch it through terminal with this command:
gksu synaptic

No ratings in synaptic...

i.e. which samba package do I need to configure samba.

Just install samba and you will get what is needed. I have heard certain theme settings make the search box not show
