Hi all

I have data like following

{ "id":1, "name":"Tom", "query":"apple"}  
{ "id":2, "name":"Tom", "query":"orange"}  
{ "id":3, "name":"Jack", "query":"apple"}  
{ "id":4, "name":"Jack", "query":"banana"}

which query/search can i use to get:

"which queries that queried by the men who query orange"

for example:  
Tom and Jack query orange  
they also query apple and banana

so the result is "apple, orange, banaba"

Thanks,  
Zhao Chun
