is https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0055.html still used?

I think Metronome supports it

Psi too

its a generic search XEP via dataform

it can be used for many things

right now i think some servers offer it to search through a user directory for example

Swift and M-Link both, too.

I haven't seen it used much in practice :/

0433 also considers it and says dataforms have limitations. https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0433.html#design

55's very useful if used within an organisation.

e.g. allowing search of local users for local users, but not allowing directory harvesting from remote users.

Yeah, I know some closed deployments that use it in Prosody, but it would be silly on a public server
