When was the last time you used that one?  The search function seems to be  
broken for nearly a year now.  After a long delay, it still reports:

 Proxy Error

 The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
 The proxy server could not handle the request GET /pks/lookup.

 Reason: Error reading from remote server

Maybe submission works, but I haven't tried it.

I don't think that's true.  I can fetch the public keys from anywhere, and  
you can fetch the same keys from somewhere else.
