You can check out BigDesk [https://github.com/lukas-vlcek/bigdesk](https://github.com/lukas-vlcek/bigdesk)and  
Elasticsearch  
head [https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head](https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head), they are web based front  
ends for Elasticsearch.

I don't think that theses great projects answer to your needs.

You are looking for a front end user, aren't you ?

IMHO, you have to build it yourself. It's your data. It should be your search and no one else but you knows how to represent your data.

Well, the way search engines like google and yahoo work is pretty standarad  
in terms of search results and queries. I thought there might be something  
like that already.
