My NPCs are generally fully-fleshed, and I give their skills the same viewpoint as the PCs skills - if there's something the PC would know, I just tell them. As a result, the NPCs are consulted just like a party member. It's one of those things that makes the PCs more likely to say "let's see if we can find someone who actually knows X", because they know that person will probably be of use.
They know that whether the NPC is right or wrong is based on what the NPC knows, I'm not deliberately feeding them clues, nor trying to trick them. There's an advantage to not doing meta-thinking.
If there's something they obviously forgot that their PCs definitely wouldn't, I just remind them as the GM.
