Send a click event to capture a query and its clicked items and positions.

Note that unlike clickedObjectIDs, ClickedObjectIDsAfterSearch takes a queryID. Therefore, the captured event goes towards both Personalization and Click and Conversion Analytics. ClickedObjectIDs only goes towards personalization.

You can find examples of click, conversion, and view events in the Search Analytics section.
