Yes, that is intentional.  The current version emulates the existing
recv-keys/send-keys interface in GnuPG.  In future versions, I hope to
add user ID text searches.  It's actually fairly easy to search
textually (the server really does all the work), but there are issues
that need some thought to handle intelligently (for example, what if
someone searches on something like "*" :) )
