Can't find account using public address in block explorer

Expert

I am trying to locate my account using my public address in a block explorer, but I am unable to find it. I have double-checked the address and it is correct. Is there a reason why my account is not showing up in the search results? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

To use most block explorers, you need the version of your Edgeware Public Address that encodes the Edgeware Network ID. If you created your key/address in the Lockdrop or via the Polkadot UI or extension, you'll need to regenerate your address using a program called Subkey before you can use it to search. However, you can always use your seed to connect to wallet services, regardless of the network ID.
