 On my windows install of postgres 9.1.0.
 I have a search_path set in the config file.  This search path has 
 several schemas defined.
 Some of the databases within postgres, do not have the schema specified 
 on the search path defined within the database.

 Trying to add pgcryto via:
 CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto;
 or
 CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto SCHEMA public;
 Fail with the error invalid value for parameter search_path.

 To add the extension required me to change the search_path.

I've committed a fix for this.  Thanks for the report!

(As pointed out in the thread, there are probably better ways to do what
you're doing with the search path, but in any case it's not real
desirable for CREATE EXTENSION to fail if the current setting is wonky.)

Is it required that all any schema added to the search_path exist in all
databases?


If set in the configuration file, yes (unless you want errors).

You can set it per-database or per-user though. See ALTER DATABASE or 
ALTER ROLE.
