Abstract
In response to a first request for query received from a user device over a network, a search identifier (ID) identifying a search transaction is generated. A search engine performs a search within a content database based on one or more keywords, generating a set of content items. For at least one of the content items, an encoder encodes the search ID and a content ID identifying the content item into a machine-readable code and attaches the machine-readable code to the content item. A search result page is generated by incorporating the set of content items, where at least one of the content items in the search result includes a machine-readable code having the search ID and its content ID encoded therein. The search result page is transmitted to the user device over the network.
