Yes, you can use that, but the problem is... Most people are too lazy or don't care enough about the servers they join to bother opening up their console every time they start their game and typing sv_search_key whatever every time they want to play a game. Sure, some community members that are big into your community might do so, but a lot of people don't even know how to open the console, let alone type that command. I've tried to educate my community on it, but it's not easy as people just don't want to take the time to do it.
