It works fine for me though. I have the exact thing set on my server's
server.cfg:
*sv_search_key 1013,key:KEYHERE*

And in my client's autoexec.cfg:
*sv_search_key KEYHERE*

And I gets tons of random people and I can connect fine using just the
search key. It's full 90% of the time; I usually have to kick people off so
I can get on. What do you get when you run sv_showtags? My server shows:

Tags:
   Public :  empty,key:KEYHERE1013,coop,versus,survival
   Private:  empty,key:1013,key:KEYHERE1013,coop,versus,survival
