I'm looking for a free software with a Web UI based on elastic which can perform document indexing (.pdf, .doc, .xls etc.) and full text search. I mean something like Recoll with Web UI. Is there something like this? If not, can someone provide some directions how to build such a software?

I don't have yet anything as a UI but I do have the service. See FSCrawler project. It has a upload REST API which you can probably use for this.

I have a plan to provide a UI at some point but nothing serious for now:
