Searchable isn't the same as connected: why team docs still make new hires ask 'why'

Every team doc tool these days is "searchable." Notion, Confluence, wikis — you can find any page in seconds. But search only tells you a document exists; it doesn't tell you how it connects to the five other docs that explain why it looks the way it does. New hires still end up pinging three people on Slack to reconstruct the reasoning behind a decision that's technically "documented" somewhere. This post is about the difference between a searchable knowledge base and a connected one — and why most teams have the first but assume they have the second.
