A method in an aggregator includes: storing (i) previous search results generated by supplier subsystems, in response to previous search requests, and (ii) for each previous search result, an identifier of the supplier subsystem that generated the previous search result; receiving a current search request containing current search parameters; responsive to receiving the current search request, selecting a set of the supplier subsystems for search result generation; for a first supplier subsystem from the set, retrieving from storage a previous search result associated with a second supplier subsystem from the set, based on correspondence between the search parameters and attributes of the previous search results; and sending, to the first supplier subsystem, (i) the current search request, and (ii) auxiliary search parameters corresponding to the retrieved previous search result, for generation of current search results at the first provider subsystem employing the auxiliary search parameters as inputs.
