Laravel 4 pagination links empty page

I have a query returning hundreds of database records.

As I am trying to paginate it using Laravel 4.2 method. Links are showing and they direct me to search-view?page=1 and so on, but the links open empty pages with no results. Only the first page contains results.

When I am trying to show these results without pagination the page never ends so I need to have it paginated.

$results = $this->model->where($searchByColumn, '=', $searchKey)
                       ->paginate(30);

return View::make('search-view')
            ->with('results', $results);

View:

@foreach ($results as $result)
    <br>
@endforeach

Any help on this please?
