That's how they're supposed to work.

 Hi,
 
 
 
 Just thought I would point out after figuring this out myself a while

 if you set sv_search_key to a non-blank value for your server, then that
 server is HIDDEN from all players unless they have the same search key
set
 on their client.
 
 
 
 So regular players who do not set a search key (ie, leave it blank) will
 never be able to find your server for hosting a game.
 
 
 
 This is a bit awkward as is, because it means your servers are only
 available to those who have the same search key, when you more than
likely
 really want to be able to just mark your servers with a tag so that
 players
 who want to be sure they play on your servers can, while still allowing
 the
 regular gaming public who do not know about the sv_search_key feature to
 still be allocated to your servers if they are free.

Re: [hlds] Browser issues and sv_search_key

I have a sv_search_key for all of my servers and people can join them
through lobbies without any problem. They don't even know the sv_search_key.

 I just set a few servers as normal servers and a few as private key
 servers.
 Works well.
