As a developer, I can have user's clicks link to an intermediate url and then redirect to the actual url so that information about the user's search is able to be collected.

[x] Have the results in the search results route to this /link url
[x] Have the LinkController redirect to the desired url

Within the link controller, the counter for link clicks should be increased. Additionally, to implement this feature, we would need a new html file for the page the user is redirected to in the mapache-search/src/main/resources/templates/ directory. In that html file a button would need to be created that would redirect to the actual webpage.
