search_path is in postgressql.conf, so you can get back to your state by copying
it over.

-C
--create
Create the database before restoring into it. (When this option is used, the
database named with -d is used only to issue the initial CREATE DATABASE
command. All data is restored into the database name that appears in the
archive.)
If you are using plain text then you will need to supply the above to the
pg_dump command.
