Allow content to be tagged with "proven practice" by an authoritative source. Allow searching by date, tag attribute, most-liked by users, etc., and make content with the most tags, "I found this useful" clicks, tagged with "proven practice" by an authoritative source rise to the top of search results. Determine the topics of greatest importance to the organization, curate a list that can be searched and filtered, and feed these as enterprise search best bets with links to the content deemed to be the best for each of these key topics.
