For D&D 5E:

Wondrous item (book), rare

First paragraph as above.

The book is filled with snatches of information that might be useful in any situation and, remarkably, it is.  With a search taking 2d6 [-Intelligence modifier] rounds, minimum 2, the owner can find information applicable to their current concern, providing advantage on any appropriate Intelligence check.  The book can be used, for effect, 1d6 times, before the owner must take a long rest before being able to fine more useful information.

It may be used to provide a single known fact about a person, place, or thing, once, then a long rest is required before another fact can be found.  This information will be true and known, it will not reveal secrets, but not necessarily be widely known and it will be potentially useful to the reader.
