The type of UID that proves problematic when you include the angle brackets in your search is this:
$ gpg2 -k c...@example.org pub 2048R/17C05EBD 2014-08-13 [expires: 2015-04-14] uid [ unknown] c...@example.org $ gpg2 -k "<c...@example.org>" gpg: error reading key: No public key It's about an UID without angle brackets! Hence, when you search for it including the angle brackets, you don't find it. Your examples all are with an UID that actually does include the angle brackets.
