the above would change it globally for all databases and users on the
system, which is, IMHO, probably not what you want to do.
better would be to...
ALTER ROLE username SET SEARCH_PATH='preview,"$user", public';
or
ALTER DATABASE dbname SET...;
and then this change just applies to that named role or database...
to the OP, a simple SET xxxx only applies to the current session, its
not remembered. ALTER ROLE (or ALTER DATABASE) will remember the
setting for the specified user or database.
but if as you said, its the "preview" role that you want to access the
"preview" schema, then the default search path would suffice, as $USER
== preview.
