In the given PHP code, what improvements can be made to enhance the functionality of the pagination feature for search results?

The given PHP code for pagination of search results is missing the functionality to handle the current page number and display the appropriate results. To enhance the functionality, we can add a variable to track the current page number and adjust the SQL query to fetch results based on the current page. Additionally, we can add navigation links for previous and next pages to improve user experience. 

<?php
// Assuming the current page number is passed as a query parameter
$page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 1;
$results_per_page = 10;
$start_from = ($page - 1) * $results_per_page;

// Modify the SQL query to fetch results based on the current page
$query = "SELECT * FROM search_results LIMIT $start_from, $results_per_page";

// Execute the query and display results

// Add navigation links for previous and next pages
echo "<a href='search.php?page=".($page-1)."'>Previous</a>";
echo "<a href='search.php?page=".($page+1)."'>Next</a>";
?>
