You're probably right, but n general when asking questions about a specific thing that you saw in a specific place it is best to include some surrounding context rather than to slice it out with a scalpel.
Japanese is a language where questions about it are so frequently answered with "it depends...what's the context?" that including plenty to begin with is a courtesy to others and also prevents threads turning bro a game of twenty questions.
FYI, when 通り is directly attached to a noun or the -masu stem of a verb, the reading is どおり, whereas it's read とおり for "noun の通り" or "modifying clause/phrase + 通り".
e.g.
記載通り：きさいどおり
考え通り：かんがえどおり

Except I wasn't asking about a specific situation. o.o' More that it's come up several times while I'm reading and I wanted to make sure that all this time I had been correctly guessing it meant "as (I) thought". Should I seek out some example sentences from Google? I'd hate to make all of you guys work harder than you have to on a simple question. ^^;

Back in Japan for about 3 weeks now and realised I really need to brush up my Japanese. I hope its not considered hijacking but I was wondering whether 考えた通り can be used interchangeably with 考え通り "in general".

When referring to thoughts in future, 考える通り would be more appropriate since 考えた通り can be misinterpreted as already-decided thoughts in the past.
e.g.
これから先は、自分たちの考える通りにやりなさい。
