Knowledge search: handle unanswered questions

Illustrative situation

An internal search returns nothing and staff create workarounds in private messages.

The decision

Capture the missing task or question through an agreed feedback process. Use that evidence to improve the knowledge base rather than adding documents without a known use.

Rehearse this before accepting the change

Search with a common staff phrase absent from official titles; review the result quality.

Use fictional examples and an authorised test environment. Record what happened, the evidence you inspected and any issue that still needs a responsible owner.

Choose a useful measure

Count repeated unanswered questions and time to resolve a confirmed gap.

Agree the definition and baseline with the team doing the work. Review the result over a comparable period and note other changes that could affect it.

Your planning worksheet

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
