17. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the metadata includes: first metadata corresponding to individual attributes associated with the first object type and each of the generic attributes; and second metadata corresponding to individual attributes associated with the second object type and each of the generic attributes.
17. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the metadata includes: first metadata corresponding to individual attributes associated with the first object type and each of the generic attributes; and second metadata corresponding to individual attributes associated with the second object type and each of the generic attributes. 18. The computer-implemented method of claim 17 , further including: generating result objects based on a received search request, the generated result objects including objects that are of the first object type and second object type; generating a value set for each generic attribute based on the first and second metadata; and partitioning each value set into subsets that reflect guided navigation across the first and second result object types.
