Garbled data in keyservers

[Wiktor Kwapisiewicz]

Hi Claudio,

You may find these SKS issues relevant:

https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/issues/41
https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/issues/57
https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/issues/60

I'm not able to comment on the specifics of search implementation in SKS though...

Kind regards,
Wiktor
