I can't seem to find what I need because I am not coming up with the right term.
I've heard one or two people call it a "wayfinder" and I personally call it "breadcrumb", then again "paginator" can also fit the bill.
What I want is the following:
I have a site with a multiple-pages form. I want my users to see the steps through the form. I searched for all three terms and nothing I can use has shown. I could build one from scratch but I am interested in what is out there. Someone may have done a better job than I will be doing.
Any idea on what to call this and if you have a link I can check out, that will be bonus.

Perhaps the term you're looking for is a Wizard?
'Pagination' usually refers to a set of results that are too numerous to display at once (e.g. a search result)
'Breadcrumbs' are specifically navigation links that lead you 'back up the path' (as in Hansel and Gretel) to provide navigational context for each page.
I have not heard of a 'wayfinder'.
I'm not exactly sure if this is what you are looking for or now: tympanus.net/codrops/2010/06/07/fancy-sliding-form-with-jquery/
It breaks an HTML form into separate parts, and allows users to go through them in pieces. This script also allows you to incorporate form validation as well, and I have used it a few times. It looks pretty good too.
