How to hide the searchbar and pager for a particular model and specific view?

By a custom javascript module? I noticed code cited below in the views.js in the web module. tried to change the board.board to res.partner for example and view_mode to view_id ... but didn't work. Any help appreciated.

    instance.web.ViewManagerAction = instance.web.ViewManager.extend({
        template:"ViewManagerAction",
        /**
        * @constructs instance.web.ViewManagerAction
        * @extends instance.web.ViewManager
        *
        * @param {instance.web.ActionManager} parent parent object/widget
        * @param {Object} action descriptor for the action this viewmanager needs to manage its views.
        */
        init: function(parent, action) {
            // dataset initialization will take the session from ``this``, so if we
            // do not have it yet (and we don't, because we've not called our own
            // ``_super()``) rpc requests will blow up.
            var flags = action.flags || {};
            if (!('auto_search' in flags)) {
                flags.auto_search = action.auto_search !== false;
            }
            if (action.res_model == 'board.board' && action.view_mode === 'form') {
                // Special case for Dashboards
                _.extend(flags, {
                    views_switcher : false,
                    display_title : false,
                    search_view : false,
                    pager : false,
                    sidebar : false,
                    action_buttons : false
                });
            }
