My sharepoint online office 365 is missing the following web part “Content Search” under Content Roll-out category

Question

I am working on a sharepoint online office 365 project. and i added a new enterprise wiki publishing site collection. now i want to add a new Content Search webpart, but seems it is not available:-

now i read many confusing articles on the web. for example on this link http://www.chrisjohnson.io/2013/10/17/content-by-search-webpart-in-office-365/ it mentioned that i need to enable those 2 features:-

Site Collection Feature: SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure

Site : SharePoint Server Publishing

now inside my enterprise wiki site collection the Site Collection Feature: SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure will already be enabled. and i do not think i need to enable the Site : SharePoint Server Publishing because i worked on another sharepoint online project and i was able to add a Content Search web part inside an enterprise wiki site collection without having to enable Site : SharePoint Server Publishing ?? so can anyone adivce how i can enable the Content Search web part inside my site collection?

Answer 1

The Content Search Webpart is only available to E3 and above Enterprise plans (or Sharepoint Plan 2 among SharePoint Online Plan 1 (Business) and SharePoint Online Plan 2 (Enterprise)).

In fact, comparing Plan 1 to Plan 2:

• No Enterprise Search with Plan 1
• No Excel Services with Plan 1
• No Visio Services with Plan 1

Business Essentials does not qualify to have the web part enabled for the tenant.

There is a Uservoice here to get Content Search Web Part added for all tenants.
