I just released a library for quickly building interactive faceted search sites (with charts). I wrote an intro blog post to the library, or head straight over to the es-backbone github repo.
Still very v0.1 software, but I have it working for three internal search engines.
Hope this will help someone else to build some front ends that are as cool as ElasticSearch is on the back end.

My only comment so far: please consider using something with d3, not Flot.
Flot was probably the best choice for this at some point, but as an
open-source project it didn't feel healthy last time we evaluated it. We
are still using it in our services (see signature), but are going to
replace it.
Thanks for feedback. I looked at using d3, but got slightly overwhelmed by
the complexity/options when I just wanted to start out with some simple
graphs.
Would love to use d3 though because I agree there are some amazing
visualizations one could build. I'll take a look at it again when I get a
chance (issue added: https://github.com/Automattic/es-backbone/issues/1).
If anyone has any d3 visualizations you think I should borrow from, please
send them along.
