Is the below what you are looking for?

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/runtime-config-client.html

"The current effective value of the search path can be examined via the
SQL function current_schemas (see Section 9.25). This is not quite the
same as examining the value of search_path, since current_schemas shows
how the items appearing in search_path were resolved."

Section 9.25:
