Sorry for the dumb question but I am completely new in the elastic world. I would like to develop a quick proof of concept to demo elastic functionalities. and the typical multifacet interface would be perfect for me. I don't want to spend time in javascript to develop a web front end. I am wondering if I can use Kibana to develop such kind of interface. i.e. the facet catalog in left side with search bar and result in the middle of the page. ![](https://miro.medium.com/max/1374/1*Fc_dX1z_72gMtLJrhZTiVQ.png) ---

Hey @kevinzou, welcome to the discussion boards! Kibana is a powerful tool that can do many things, but a curated multifacet search interface isn't really in its wheelhouse. Have a look at our Site Search offering: [https://swiftype.com/site-search](https://swiftype.com/site-search) You can use the free 14-day trial to demonstrate a proof-of-concept without a whole lot of effort. If you like what you see, then you can sign up for a paid account, or take advantage of our free open source tools to build your own custom search experience. For example, we have our [search-ui](https://github.com/elastic/search-ui) framework which makes building on top of Site Search (or a custom connector) very easy. ---
