<h3 id="search-substring"><a href="#search-substring">Why isn't it possible to search by part of an email address, like just the domain?</a></h3>
<p>
Some keyservers support search for keys by part of an email address.
This allows discovery not only of keys, but also of addresses, with a query like "keys for addresses at gmail dot com".
This effectively puts the addresses of all keys on those keyservers into a public listing.
</p>
<p>
Searches by email address on <span class="brand">keys.openpgp.org</span> return only exact matches.
That way, users can discover keys for addresses they already know, but not new addresses.
This ensures malicious users and spammers can't obtain a list of all addresses on the server.
</p>
<p>
We made this restriction a part of our <a href="/about/privacy">privacy policy</a>,
which means we can't change it without asking for user consent.
