What are some common ways that searchers payback investors with a return without exiting / selling the company (e.g. dividend recap) ?

Common paths are dividends from FCF, dividend recaps after delevering, management or secondary buyouts, or existing LPs buying out others. Many search deals return capital well before an exit.

Put option at pre-determined multiple is an option.
