Adding support for options/variants selection on the search results page 
while supporting the 'Buy List' functionality would be hairy. Your second 
idea of disabling the ability to buy from the results list would just be a 
matter of commenting out select parts of that page content and perhaps 
adding a more obvious 'More info' text or image, surrounded with [page 
[item-code]]</a>.

You might want to check some of the alternate results* components, as such 
a thing might have already been done, at least in part.
