Pagination Totals on Single Page of Results

[ellastinnes1]

I'm displaying the pagination links as follows in my blade file:

{{ $data->links() }}

This is displaying the pagination links and provides an overview on the total number of records:

Showing 1 to 10 of 18 results

However, when filtering the data and the total number of records can fit to a single page, both the pagination links and totals disappear.

I would expect the pagination links to disappear as they serve no purpose on a single page, however the totals are still useful as it prevents the user from manually counting the records:

Showing 1 to 5 of 5 results

The following code for outputting this string (https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/10.x/src/Illuminate/Pagination/resources/views/tailwind.blade.php):

<p class="text-sm text-gray-700 leading-5">
    {!! __('Showing') !!}
    @if ($paginator->firstItem())
        <span class="font-medium">{{ $paginator->firstItem() }}</span>
        {!! __('to') !!}
        <span class="font-medium">{{ $paginator->lastItem() }}</span>
    @else
        {{ $paginator->count() }}
    @endif
    {!! __('of') !!}
    <span class="font-medium">{{ $paginator->total() }}</span>
    {!! __('results') !!}
</p>

is wrapped within the following condition:

@if ($paginator->hasPages())

I understand that I could publish and make amendments to this file, but the default behaviour does not feel right - what am I missing here? I'm struggling to understand why the user has to manually count the records on a single page of results?

Thank you.
