Abstract
Some embodiments include a system. The system comprises an input device, an output device, one or more processing modules, and one or more non-transitory memory storage modules storing computer instructions. The non-transitory memory storage module(s) are configured to run on the processing module(s) and perform acts of: receiving a search query; and responsive to receiving the search query: identifying a restricted group of questions, the questions of the restricted group of questions being relevant to the search query; transforming the restricted group of questions into a first group of questions and a second group of questions, the questions of the restricted group of questions comprising the questions of the first group of questions and the questions of the second group of questions; and communicating to a user the first group of questions and the second group of questions. Other embodiments of related systems and methods are also provided.
