I would like to allow users the ability to delete saved searches. From what I see this needs to be done via the Saved Object Management Screen, is there a way to limit them to be able to just delete search saved objects it looks if I give them permissions to Saved object management they will be able to delete any type of saved object i.e. index patterns/dashboards

Unfortunately you are correct. We can't just limit deletion for saved searches right now. Can you please log a request here though?
