• and
• sending to the user a response to the query object comprising the first object and the second object.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a query object from a user;
• searching a plurality of human-generated lists to identify a first object, the first object being included in a first human-generated list of the plurality of human-generated lists that includes the query object;
• searching the plurality of human-generated lists to identify a second object, the second object being included in a second human-generated list of the plurality of human-generated lists that includes the first object;
