Clarification:  When I use the keys.openpgp.org website directly, it
reports that SEARCHES do not support short IDs.

That probably explains why using that server in Enigmail searching with
the short ID fails also.

I dunno.  The default config in the Enigmail version for TB 2.0.0.24
imported the image, no problem.  If I have to enable it in the Enigmail
version for TB 60, I haven't looked.  I just assumed it ought to work
like the other Enigmail.
