Why would you use CSWP over CQWP in SharePoint 2013


CSWP is a great addition in SharePoint 2013.The Content Search Web Part (CSWP) is a Web Part introduced in SharePoint 2013 Preview that displays search results based on a search query and shows the results for that search query. Content Search Web Part displays search results in a way that you can easily format.

The big question is why would you choose CSWP over CQWP? CQWP and related SPSiteDataQuery can only search within the current site collection - the site collection “boundary” is a factor. CSWP on the other hand can search across the farm.
