This usually means that it succeeded. Else you would have gotten an error.

I just used my browser to verify:
http://wwwkeys.de.pgp.net/pks/lookup?search=Carlos%20Williams&op=vindex
This yields 2 hits.

You can do the same using the GUI (Key Management) using menu ->
Keyserver -> Search for Keys. But keep in mind that pool.sks... is a DNS
round robin and that it might take some time (usually only a few minutes)
to distribute amongst all pool servers.
