Re: [TF-dev] CTI projects completion and restart today

Hello Jake,

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. I understand the 
situation and concerns.
I will be discussing your feedback with the CTI team and stress the 
severity of the need for a search function.

There is already a request filed for a search function, let me find out 
the timeline for its implementation. [1]

Thank you again for your feedback, and for bearing with us.

Petra
