is lookup gone from new OS 10.11 update?

I recently updated my macbook pro to OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and now the three tap Lookup feature (looks up the word in dictionary) is gone. I also can't find it in the settings anymore. Is there anyway I can get it back? Or is it just gone in the new update? If so, I hope they bring it back.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

Hi hwang3320,


Thank you for becoming an Apple Support Communities member and for taking the time to create your first post! :)


To continue to use the tap with three fingers gesture, you may need to reenable this gesture in your Trackpad preferences.


To see how to perform gestures, customize how gestures work, and set options for your trackpad or mouse, open Trackpad or Mouse preferences.

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Trackpad preferences or Mouse preferences.
