SharePoint 2013 - Content Search Web Part (CSWP) Tutorial

In SharePoint 2013 microsoft has introduced Content Search Web Part (CSWP) - 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.

How does it display Results – The CSWP can return any content from the search index. It queries against the Index to display results.

Result Accuracy – The CSWP returns content that is as fresh as the latest crawl of your content, so if you crawl often, the content that the CSWP returns is more up-to-date than if you crawl infrequently.

Content in Results - Search crawls only the major versions of content, never the minor versions. So no minor version documents are included in results.

Results Availability -
 If the site collection or site is marked to not be indexed, the content is not available using CSWP.
