The search key does not work currently. Whatever you set, it never show up in sv_showtags. It's broken.

I've followed everyone's advice in fixing the search key problem, but it hasn't been fixed. This is what I've tried so far: - sv_search_key "xxxxx" and sv_steamgroup xxxxx in the server.cfg - just sv_search_key "xxxx" without steamgroup - just sv_steamgroup xxxx without search key - sv_search_key xxxx without using quotation marks - tried the "1013,key:xxxxx" and that hasn't worked either In the game, I've tried using the lobby matchmaking sv_search_key xxxx with and without quotation marks. I seriously can't get anything to work. I run 5 open servers and 1 private servers, and the lobby won't find any of them. It'll just sit and search forever and never stop. If anyone can shed some light, I'd be grateful.
