Yes, you are right, but remember newbies like me maybe don't know that, and maybe they think about fingerprints and Key IDs as 2 separated things... And the 2 GUIs I use ask for a Key ID to perform the searches... It seems we have another entry for the FAQ: Q: "I got a fingerprint, but not a Key ID, how do I search the key?" A: "The Key ID is the last part of the fingerprint, it can be 8 or 16 characters long (short and long formats). Use those last digits to do the search, and then use the whole fingerprint to check you found the right key".
