When I turn a saved search into a Summary Search my
New | Edit | View
options disappear. Is there any option to have these appear on the summary level?

I do not believe so

No there’s not, and there’s a good reason for that - each row in the summary search results refers to multiple (read different) records, so having an Edit/View option would be ambiguous: Edit/View which record exactly?

@Josh Godfrey my solution for this is to add a “Formula (Text)” field that is a hyperlink to the “Edit” or “View” mode of the page. For example, let’s say you have a summary search and each row represents a single item record (even though it is a summary search—depends on the use case). This would be the formula string:
'<a href=https://_<your_account_id>_.<http://app.netsuite.com/app/common/item/item.nl?id=|app.netsuite.com/app/common/item/item.nl?id=>' || {internalid} || ' target=_blank>View</a>'
That would create a column where the word “View” was a hyperlink to the URI string with the items internal ID appended to the end of the string dynamically with that
{internalid}
piece. As David mentioned above, this will not work unless each line in your summary search contains only one of the item that you are referencing in the formula.
For Edit mode:
'<a href=https://_<your_account_id>_.<http://app.netsuite.com/app/common/item/item.nl?id=|app.netsuite.com/app/common/item/item.nl?id=>' || {internalid} || '&e=T target=_blank>Edit</a>'

@David in this situation, I was trying to group together Email Messages on a specific Support Case Record. So everything was rolling up to one record. But that makes sense, thank you for your feedback. @Tony Zuko I'll give this a shot, it sounds like it would work in this case. Thank you!

Sweet, glad that helped!
