[LOTR] What was Saruman's plan if he'd find the One Ring? Did he want total domination over Middle Earth like Sauron?

Both Saruman and Sauron were created by Aule the Smith and for better or worse had similar outlooks on how existence should work. That is why Saruman fell to begin with. The central point of LotR is none of the Ainur actually agreed with (or at least understood) Eru Illuvatar's decisions with creation (at least as it regards the gift of men). They just broke down into those who had faith and those who didn't. Saruman went from one camp to the other and didn't really change his mind about how things should be.

Anyway Saruman likely had the same outlook on existence as Melkor and Sauron. Preferring an eternal world without mortality, strife and without the gift of men (or maybe with the gift being given only to the strongest and most worthy).
