TightWiki
For years I’ve worked at places where we just needed a simple to use, searchable, unobtrusive, no-nonsense, collaborative and free place to dump documentation.
The first thing that comes to mind is a Wiki but for some reason I can never find anything that "checks all the boxes". Hopefully you'll find this one does for you.
:yum: TightWiki is an ASP.NET Core MVC Razor WIKI written in C# that sits on top of a SQLite database (zero configuration required).
:crossed_fingers: Play with the latest dev build at http://TightWiki.com/. If you want to edit, you can signup using google auth or native TightWiki login.
:eyes: Or check out the full wiki documentation to learn about the engine functionality.
:star: Ready to run it for yourself? Check out the installation instructions!
:boom: Also be sure to check out the screenshots below the feature list...
:anguished: Its been like a modern retelling of Sisyphus, only this time the stone is RegEx.
:astonished: Features (some of them anyway)
- MIT license, you can use it for free at home or at your business.
- Open source, you can make changes, submit fixes or just make suggestions.

- User signup can be disabled, enabled and can require users to verify email before logging in.
- Multiple user roles are supported for admin, moderators, contributors and basic members.

- Admin shows missing pages, namespace metrics, users, roles, etc.
- Manual account creation, editing and deletion.
- All dates/times are stored in UTC and localized for logged in users.

- Theme-able, with 25+ built in themes.

- Namespace support so you can have multiple pages with the same name in different namespaces.
- Fully baked in documentation of all wiki functions.
- Wiki Markup allows you post non-formatted code and even auto-syntax highlighting for things like C#, PHP, SQL, etc. Can also explicitly specify language.
- Wiki markup supports basic formatting, headings and sub-headings, tagging, tables, callouts, alerts, variables, bullets lists, dynamic glossaries, inline search results, dynamic tag clouds, related linking, expanding sections, auto-table of contents, and much more.
- Wiki page editing is syntax highlighted.
- Built in search supports fuzzy matching to support even mild misspellings.

Site Metrics
We've beat the wiki up with more data than this, but this is our standard workload. ~45,000 pages, in ~400 namespaces, with ~250,000 revisions, created by ~1,000 users, manifesting ~5 million search tokens. The random fuzzy-match search time is 11 milliseconds. Not too shabby, right?
