If you have the resources for it, the suggestion by @p_gurav to implement search head clustering is a great one. If not, what you're talking about will involve moving/copying savedsearches.conf files and associated metadata. When I needed to move saved searches from one search head to another, I copied the entire app folder $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/my_app to a backup location. I then used vim to modify the savedsearches.conf file to set enabled=0 for all of the searches. I copied the entire app folder from this backup location onto the second search head and systematically enabled saved searches on the new search head as I disabled them on the first search head. (I did this in batches by editing the savedsearches.conf files on both search heads and then using debug/refresh to cause Splunk to pick up the configuration changes.)

Did you try using search head clustering? Refer below doc: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.3/DistSearch/SHCdeploymentoverview
