Actually, I might like to have a "knowledge base" article-style help system, each entry generated by org mode as a single web page, the search engine utilizing Google custom search engine just for my help site. Isn't this what WORG is doing?

I'm an org mode beginner, but as I understand I can create knowledge base entries or issues or help topic entries as individual files. These topic entry/Help KB files can contain ample tag/keywords in order to effectively queried by "the agenda" search engine. Am I correct so far? Also, has anyone tried this before; any examples out there of an on-line help system with an index/search capability?

Sounds like what worg is, at least to some degree (an org based wiki/web site).

Stack overflow also comes to mind as something to look at. It supports q & a as week as predictive answer suggestions when you go to create a new question.

It might help if you submitted a sort of sketch of what you're looking to do, such as general structure, if it will be pre-populated only or feature user generated content, etc.

That might help others to chime in with suggestions.
