OpenPGPkeyserver No keys found after Submit OpenPGP Public Key

When I submit a new Key in http://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net/ it returns 200 OK and the following body:

1 key(s) added successfully.
Key block added to key server database.
  New public keys added:

Yet, I am not sure if the key was successfully added because nothing is listed after the New public keys added:

In fact after that when I try to search for the key in OpenPGPkeyserver it returns No results found: No keys found

Also when I push the key through the command line with the following command I cannot figure out what is the response from the server:

gpg --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --send-keys B34A93B1

The output is simply: 

gpg: sending key B34A93B1 to hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net

I am using gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.17 libgcrypt 1.8.4.

The answer to my question: OpenPGPkeyserver No keys found after Submit OpenPGP Public Key is related with a wrong value passed to the search query parameter on url: 

http://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net/pks/lookup?search=***KEY-ID***&fingerprint=on&op=index

Here the ***KEY-ID*** should include the prefix 0x.... otherwise it will not find the public key.

Nevertheless I am still confused about the returned message when we submit a new key since no clear information is given after :. Just returning New public keys added: and nothing is quite ambiguous.
