At my workplace we have Slack, but not Discourse. We do have Confluence though, which works quite good for stuff that needs to be referenced in future.
My experience with Confluence is it only works if you have a link to the document. Search is utterly useless. The only search I've found worse is Google Docs. I can be in a meeting and search direct quotes or titles of documents being shared on screen and they will not come up in gdoc's search; I have to request a link every time. Even for documents I've previously opened.
