 why not...

 with 
---
lib.mymarker < plugin.tx_myext_pi1
---
 you copy some TypoScript configuration (real copy! no reference).

 and so you can modify lib.mymarker afterwards without distracting any
 other object...

 so you set your default settings for the "detailed search",
 copy that to lib.mymarker and modify lib.mymarker to whatever
 you need for the other view...
 (add some options, overwrite some stuff...)

 If you need such a switch for plugins (where you can't overwrite the
 TypoScript settings) you'll have to define a select list with your 
 views and chose that on plugin basis.
 (check out tt_news for example where you can have both a single view
 and a latest view at the same time... by simply selecting the right
 view from a dropdown...)  ;-)
