sorry, cannot understand this question.
custom_lists it's just reference table. Listing blocks can contain different entities such products, categories, brands, media etc.. this table is abstract reference to all of them.

Please explain your aim.

Thanks

That's what I wanted. I am using this extension http://marketplace.abantecart.com/smart-product-search-and-result-filtering
and there is one condition that reads if row is in custom_lists
I was not able to search some products as they were not in custom_list so I just wanted to make sure before I remove that condition.
