Yes you need Office Web Apps to enable Document Preview.
And Yes that needs a separate server/farm.

Follow the reference to Wictor Willens blog for the basic instruction and use my powershell to enable PDF preview.

This addition should be a comment on Anders answer, not a separate answer IMO

Robert, you are right. "Answered" on my mobile and hit the wrong button.

I just faced a similar problem.

Using a custom display template might not give you the preview features. Resolved it by changing the display template settings to the one that says

"Use the result type to decide"

Hope this helps!

Please add a description of the proposed resolution to your answer. Link-only answers become less useful over time as links tend to break. — Phil Greer, Apr 29, 2015 at 14:31
