Ability to search for keys on multiple keyservers
Reported by hrumph | June 17th, 2016 @ 07:01 AM
I would like the ability to search for keys on multiple keyservers.
I currently have to a single keyserver to search, and if the key I'm searching for doesn't exist on it, I get zero results.
I would like the keyserver select widget to be a multiselect and be able to check/uncheck keyservers I would like to search/not search, and then I would like the "Lookup key" dialog in GPG Keychain to search all selected keyservers (and, obviously, not any of the unselected keyservers).
Details:
- GPGMail version 2.6b2
- GPG Keychain version 1.2.1
- GPGServices version 1.10.1
- MacGPG2 version 2.0.28
- GPGPreferences version 1.5
- OS X 10.11.4
- Late 2011 Macbook
I found this GPG
thread which indicated that GPG only uses the last keyserver
listed in gpg.conf. If GPGTools is trying to keep
reverse compatibility with that, you could add a "Primary"
keyserver radio button, and when you write out
gpg.conf, simply include that keyserver as the last
one in the list.
I'm happy to answer any questions or respond to any comments.
Thanks!

- State changed from “new” to “wontfix”
- Importance changed from “” to “Low”
We have since introduced the much more reliable hagrid key server keys.opengpg.org
Additionally GPG Keychain > Preferences > Key Server now has an option to allow a fallback search on sks if hagrid does not come up with any search result.Thus this item needs no further action. Closing as wontfix.
