It is not possible to get the search results along with the all the video information ( likecount, etc) on a single api call. However you can implement it programatically by
1) first get the search results
2) get video info of each result firing another api call

You can get all the details of the video by specifying the part as contentDetails,statistics,snippet

payload = {'id': search_result["id"]["videoId"], 'part': 'contentDetails,statistics,snippet', 'key': DEVELOPER_KEY}
l = requests.Session().get('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos', params=payload)    
print l.text

Response will be as following:

The search results just contain basic information. You have to then take the video ids from the search results and make a separate API request to get the details you want for the videos.

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?key={MY API KEY}&part=statistics&id={IDs}

IDs are a comma separated list of the video id's you retrieved from the search.
