[TYPO3] Indexed Search

[Lee M. Childress]

I am using Typo3 4.1.3 on a Linux server with Apache and everything is going smoothly ... except ...
 
The javascript for the indexed_search navigation generates an error (document.tx_indexedsearch.tx_indexedsearch[pointer] is null or not an object). I've searched the net and have found several others which complain of the same issue, but have never found a remedy to the problem.
 
I have read that placing the following in my TSConfig Setup will help:
 
plugin.tx_indexedsearch.browseLinks_setUrl = 1
 
but it does not. I have also read that the above doesn't work for version 4.0+
 
Lastly, I would like to change the navigation from <Previous Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Next> to <Previous 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 Next>. I have seen in the code where it is hard coded. Is there a way to do this without hacking the code so that I don't have to re-hack each time an update is released?
 
Thanks in advance for helping me out.
 
I have just recently switched from ModX to Typo3 and so far am loving it. Awesome job Typo3 team!
