Make a Search view have the same options as a Content view
H,

This is something I'm still searching for an authoritative solution to/answer on.

This is apparently known issue with Flag and Views, with most people taking programmatic approaches to solve their particular problem.

There's a patch to that should address at least some of your problems here. https://www.drupal.org/node/1362298. This seems to be the closest anyone is to a solution at the moment.
