Run flow on single item in search results when searching a list

I wanted to implement a Flow to run on a single SharePoint list item in a "site-request and approval" scenario. My scenario whould have been a pre-filled projects list, in which users could do a lookup for a project and then request approval for a site. I went ahead and created this Flow and was happy with the result, until I noticed that when you do a search on a modern list (which is logical in list with a lot of items ;-), the items returned in the searchresult are missing the option to run a Flow on them?!? Making the option to be able to trigger a flow on a single item pretty useless, unless working with a few listitems (users can only sort or scroll to find the item they are looking for). Is there a workaround for this? Am I using the wrong approach?

    Hi bvisser,

     

    How is your flow configured? What’s the trigger are you using?


    I am trying to reproduce this issue on my side.


    A screenshot for your flow would be better for understanding.

     

    Best regards,
