The web service correspSearch aggregates correspondence metadata from digital and printed editions (or scholarly catalogues of correspondence) and offers them for central search and retrieval. The web service is based mainly on the Correspondence Metadata Interchange Format (CMIF), which is being developed within the TEI Correspondence SIG. The web service correspSearch was made available as a prototype in 2014. Since 2017, a new software architecture, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), has been implemented. This paper aims to outline the developments of the last years and give some insights to the current work, as well as an outlook on the upcoming version 3 of the web service.
