Laravel, links() pagination The GET method is not supported

When I process a post request for search, I get all result with pagination,
when try to navigate to the second page http://localhost/project/admin/search?page=2

** The GET method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: POST.**

the links() function use GET to navigate in pages, how i can resolve ?

route :

Route::post('search',['as' => 'cat.search','uses' =>'CatController@search']);

function :

public function search(Request $request)
    {
       
        $search = $request->get('search');
        if($search != ''){
            $cat =  Tombe::where('name','like', '%'.$search.'%')
            ->orwhere('description','like', '%'.$search.'%')
            ->paginate(15);
            if(count($cat)>0){
                return view('admin.cat.search', compact('cat'));
            }else{
                return back()->with('error','No results Found');
            }
        }else{
            return back()->with('error','Enter Search Name');
        }
    }

As Tim Lewis pointed out, the paginator by default works with GET requests. In order to make it use POST requests, you'd need to provide a custom view to the Paginator's links() method replacing every <a> tag with a <form>.

For example, the default view is visible in the github repo along with some others that use bootstrap or tailwind.

If you are not using laravel 10, simply change the branch. Here is the folder for laravel 5.5 for example

Here's what the default pagination for laravel 10 would look like if you make it use POST requests instead.

resources/views/pagination/using-post.blade.php

@if ($paginator->hasPages())
    <nav>
        <ul class="pagination">
            {{-- Previous Page Link --}}
            @if ($paginator->onFirstPage())
                <li class="disabled" aria-disabled="true" aria-label="@lang('pagination.previous')">
                    <span aria-hidden="true">‹</span>
                </li>
            @else
                <li>
                    {{-- <a href="{{ $paginator->previousPageUrl() }}" rel="prev" aria-label="@lang('pagination.previous')">‹</a> --}}
                    <form action="{{ $paginator->previousPageUrl() }}" method="POST">
                        @csrf
                        <button type="submit" aria-label="@lang('pagination.previous')">‹</button>
                    </form>
                </li>
            @endif

            {{-- Pagination Elements --}}
            @foreach ($elements as $element)
                {{-- "Three Dots" Separator --}}
                @if (is_string($element))
                    <li class="disabled" aria-disabled="true"><span>{{ $element }}</span></li>
                @endif

                {{-- Array Of Links --}}
                @if (is_array($element))
                    @foreach ($element as $page => $url)
                        @if ($page == $paginator->currentPage())
                            <li class="active" aria-current="page"><span>{{ $page }}</span></li>
                        @else
                            {{-- <li><a href="{{ $url }}">{{ $page }}</a></li> --}}
                            <form action="{{ $url }}" method="POST">
                                @csrf
                                <button type="submit">{{ $page }}</button>
                            </form>
                        @endif
                    @endforeach
                @endif
            @endforeach

            {{-- Next Page Link --}}
            @if ($paginator->hasMorePages())
                <li>
                    {{-- <a href="{{ $paginator->nextPageUrl() }}" rel="next" aria-label="@lang('pagination.next')">›</a> --}}
                    <form action="{{ $paginator->nextPageUrl() }}" method="POST">
                        @csrf
                        <button type="submit" aria-label="@lang('pagination.next')">›</button>
                    </form>
                </li>
            @else
                <li class="disabled" aria-disabled="true" aria-label="@lang('pagination.next')">
                    <span aria-hidden="true">›</span>
                </li>
            @endif
        </ul>
    </nav>
@endif

And then you'd need to pass this custom pagination view of yours to the paginator when you use the links() method.

<div class="container">
    @foreach ($users as $user)
        {{ $user->name }}
    @endforeach
</div>
 
{{ $users->links('pagination.using-post') }}
