To do that, go to My Games in Steam, right click Left 4 Dead, choose Properties, and click Set Launch Options.
How do you go about turning that off?

The search key doesn't control who can join a game, just what server you play on once the game is started.

If you're in a lobby and everybody else is getting the "Not in a joinable game" message, that's simply an error in the lobby system :-/ It happens sometimes, no idea why.

Hmm, was it a stock map, or a custom? If custom, it might be that the people trying to join you haven't DL'd it. This includes Valve-Supported customs, which must be manually DL'd.
