Hi ! Im making a simple demo project for a certein bank. The project goes like this, they're gonna use it to search using a account number and return results even using a wild card. My problem is on how to make the Front end for the elasticsearch. Im done on ingesting the data to elasticsearch single node ( I haven't set the cluster yet because its just a demo and POC ) now Im currently having problem on what to use on the front end or for the user to interact with. Any thoughts, guidance and suggestin over this please?. ---

If you need help, you need to describe what are your problems, what is the programming language... Have a look at Kibana and may be you won't need to create any front end for your POC 😉 ---

The problem is I don't have any idea on what to use to create a simple user interface where a user can interact to use elasticsearch (Just like a simple google search box) I have used the kibana but I need it fully customize like displaying a certain column names , also I gonna make it user authenticated ( Web app maybe my first option) I want some suggestion and guidance on what is the best option or what programming language can I use. Please ---

In Kibana you can select column names. XPack (commercial plugin but 30 days free period which is ok for a POC) adds login/password to authenticate users in Kibana. Again, in which front end language are you comfortable? ---

HTML and javascript would be good to my side. Do you have any idea on how to integrate it with that. Or any links about doing simple search project. ---

I wrote a very old project in 2012: [https://github.com/dadoonet/devoxx2012](https://github.com/dadoonet/devoxx2012) Not sure if it still accurate those days as it was using elasticsearch 0.19.. I'd encourage you looking at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/index.html) This can help may be. ---
