Whats the best way to query elasticsearch from a custom app? What I really want to show, is the discover functionality but more restrictive with filters. For example when I have an account number 12345678, I would like to query information for that account and then render that JSON in my custom app and then ofcourse, I would be able to specify the time interval. But thats about it! ---

Fastest way is by using [App Search](https://www.elastic.co/solutions/app-search). Otherwise yes you can integrate elasticsearch client in your application and query elasticsearch with whatever queries you need. ---

Ah! Did not even know it existed. Thanks I will try it out. Is this one of the Free plugins/tools available? We use the community edition and currently dont want to look into licensing. ---

We cant use something hosted outside of our environment. So what other option do we have then? ---

> We cant use something hosted outside of our environment. In the near future you will be able to deploy this service on premise but I think it will be available with a commercial license only. You can test it though today. See [Download Elastic Enterprise Search | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/app-search) > So what other option do we have then?
