I am not sure this is the most efficient way to do this, but I pass the form 
values, if any, in the url of the pager, then at the top of the results 
page, I convert the url variable to a form variable ( which may be 
unneccessary, but I steer clear of unscoped variables)

<cfif isdefined("url.someVar")>
    <cfset form.someVar = url.someVar>
</cfif>

hth, and again, there may be/always are better solutions....
