What features do I have to activate to get Content search web part (CSWP)

Question

I thought that by enabling:

• SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure (Site collection feature)
• SharePoint Server Standard Site features (Site feature)

I would get the content search web part, but what do I miss?

Answer 1

This webpart requires Enterprise features to be enabled in your environment. If this is not enabled the webpart will not be available.

Here's a guide on how to do that

Answer 2

If your Microsoft subscription is not E3, E5, or SharePoint Online 2, you do not have access Content Search Web Part. But you can ask Microsoft for it here: https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/264636-general/suggestions/18776182-make-the-content-search-webpart-cswp-available-t

Answer 3

It requires SharePoint 2013 Enterprise version to have those web parts available.
