If your forum is community info centric or otherwise. If your self hosted or the plan your own has the Docs Plugin can be good for quick organized searches. In my instance I created a guide category with Tags and set this category viewable by all but only maintainers group can create edit content there. I use Tables as first post to act as a quick look at topics that are posts. At the bottom of post a link to source.
There are some good advanced search features like date range, search by poster, tag, date range, category.
Iirc the Saved Searches Plugin might also be a consideration.
