I got it working. Thanks a bunch for setting me straight! For posterity, this is what I needed:
public function index() { /* defaults */ $page = 1; $limit = $this->SearchIndex->limit; $models = array(); /* check form query */ if (!empty($this->data)) { if (empty($this->data['Search']['q'])) { $this->flash('no search string'); } $q = $this->data['Search']['q']; // and limit & models ... } else if (!empty($this->params['named'])) { /* in URL */ if (empty($this->params['named']['q'])) { $this->flash('no search string'); } $q = $this->params['named']['q']; // and limit & models ... $page = $this->params['named']['page']; } if (isset($q)) { /* now make sure things are clean */ App::import('Sanitize'); $q = Sanitize::escape($q, 'default'); $limit = intval($limit); // ... /* set this for Paginator */ $this->passedArgs = array( 'q' => $q, 'models' => implode(',',$models), 'limit' => $limit ); $this->SearchIndex->searchModels($models); $this->paginate = array( 'limit' => $limit, 'page' => $page, 'conditions' => "MATCH(SearchIndex.data) AGAINST('${q}' IN BOOLEAN MODE)" ); $this->set('results', $this->paginate('SearchIndex')); $this->set('search_string', $q); } // etc. } views/elements/paginator_links.ctp: $paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs)); <div class="PaginationLinks"> <?= $paginator->prev( '20', array( 'url' => array('limit' => 20), 'class' => 'Limit LimitPrev', 'title' => 'previous, limit 20 results' ) ) ?> ... Works a treat! I *knew* what I'd done was hackish. While it worked, I was sure there had to be a better way. I'm glad I checked in.
