We have SharePoint available which runs under M$sqlserver. Most information is not in wiki format and searching is quite inefficient because of the high number of useless hits.
There is an open wiki w/~1400 pages that has not caught on with the general user. about 500 of those pages are mine. This is very helpful in providing links based on the topic in the page name. By searching within the wiki as opposed to the whole website, the first listed hits are often the most relevant. But the auditors, bless their hearts, said that any "official documentation" must be stored in a restricted location. so I have my own wiki w/~700 pages w/independent access security. There is no way to easily cross link the wikis -- it requires a url link. What would be ideal is a wiki like mediawiki which has "namespaces" and which also has independent access security for each "namespace". Does anyone know if that exists?
