1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, at a media device, a voice input from a user;
detecting, by processing the voice input, a conjunction;
in response to detecting the conjunction, waiting for additional input associated with a particular entity being displayed to the user or being captured by a camera of the media device;
receiving the additional input associated with the particular entity;
querying a database based on the voice input and the particular entity;
based on querying the database, receiving at least one identifier of at least one content item; and
generating for display, on the media device, the at least one identifier.
