Discord is a chat program. Chat comes and goes. The fact that search sucks is a feature. If you need a good search feature, good categorisation, etc then you need a forum or something similar. People use Discord because they don't want a forum, they want a chat.

Most information, especially anything about video games, is tucked away in a discord nowadays. I'm in many that literally act as storage of information - a large number of channels that only the admin can post in where they post info.

Just don't use one of those modern forums that basically act like chat rooms...
Chat and forums/wikis should probably be integrated in one app again, like the old shoutboxes on forums.
