MethodNotAllowedHttpException not found when I paginate in Laravel - php

Question

Hello this is my first question here.
I am using php laravel framework and I am getting this error
MethodNotAllowedHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 233:
This error comes when I go to second page of the result list.
My controller code.
public function find_product(Request $request)
{
$search = trim($request->product);
$products = Store_product::(query-for-products-working)
->paginate(1);
return view('fc.product',compact('products','search'));
}
My web.php code
Route::post('/product', 'FlashCartController#find_product');
My view code
#foreach($products as $product)
<div class="fc-col">
<div class="panel panel-primary">
<div class="panel-heading fc-col-head"><div class="marquee">{{ $product->product_name }}</div></div>
<div class="panel-body fc-col-body">
<img src="{{ image_check('uploads/store/products/',$product->product_image1,'uploads/service/') }}" class="img-responsive" style="width:100%; height: 100%;" alt="{{ $product->product_name }}" />
</div>
<div class="panel-footer fc-col-footer">
<span class="price">Rs.
{{
price_check($product->product_discount, $product->product_price, $product->sale_id, $product->discount)
}}/-
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
#endforeach
<div>
{{ $products->links() }}
</div>
and the form
<form action="/product" method="POST">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="input-group container">
<input type="text" name="product" class="form-control" value="{{$search}}" placeholder="Enter product name" />
<div class="input-group-btn">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-danger" value="Search" />
</div>
</div>
</form>
Why my method is not allowed. And if this is not the method to use what should I do?
Can anyone help me with this please? :(

Okay so your problem as I understand it is that when you paginate to the next page the url becomes empty and no results are shown.
In your view you have this line:
{{ $products->links() }}
Which shows that whatever your url is at the moment, just ignore it and add pagination to it.
That means if your url is like www.abc.com?product=graphics it will ignore product and only add www.abc.com?page=1,2,... Of course your page will be blank.
Instead use this:
{{ $products->appends(request()->input())->links() }}
Now it tells the system to add pagination but append variables to it too. What variables? The variables that are appended on the url already.
Hope it helps
