I still use the 1.4 branch primarily.  I've got gnupg-1.4.7.  I do use
gpg-agent from the gnupg2 branch, currently I've got gnupg2-2.0.6.

Not even with 0x prefixed when searching by keyid?  I know that works
fine on the 1.x branch, back as far as 1.2.x (the oldest version I had
handy to try it with).  I tried using gpg2 --search ED0E1FB7 and it
failed, while gpg2 --search 0xED0E1FB7 succeeded.  So it seems the
keyserver bug that was fixed in 1.4.6 hasn't been fixed in the gnupg2
branch, at least not in my package (it may be a build problem though).

Anyway, I do recommend asking on gnupg-users if you don't get things
worked out.  There are some helpful folks there, much as there are on
this list.
