Rant/question:

The word software configuration management can mean 2 related but different thing:

1. Configuration management in system engineering sense, which is is a process to systematically manage, organize, and control the changes in the documents, codes, and other entities during the Software Development Life Cycle (guru99).

2. Something to manage your config files, from something simple as python/bash scripts to full infrastructure-as-code solutions such as terraform and ansible

When I think about configuration management, I (and the parent) thinks about the second meaning, but if I googled that, all of the search results points to the first meaning

Both are important. A good CMDB is key in finding your documentation that points you at the configuration management used for the actual system.

Let me tell you, just a wiki with a search is not enough beyond a certain size, and you hit that faster than you'd think.
