Content Query Web Part (CQWP) vs Content Search Web Part (CSWP) in SharePoint 2013 ?

1) Content Query Web Part

  • Use xsl to customize look  and feel
  • Information are display instant unless caching enable
  • Can display both minor and major version
  • Can use Target Audience
  • Can only query content same site collection.


2) Content Search Web Part

  • Use HTML and JAVASCRIPT to customize look and feel so very flexible
  • Base on search crawl so data/information published is not instance
  • Only display major version
  • Can't use Target Audience
  • Can query cross site collection

What i miss the most is Target Audience is missing in CSWP.
