Track searches with RSS
So you've spent time tinkering with Twitter search, and you've figured out a few queries that bring up useful results. Do you have to head over to Twitter search every hour and type them in to see if you've got fresh messages? Of course not.
The most basic way to keep on top of searches is to grab an RSS feed of them. Here's a feed, shown in Google Reader, of messages about the Yankees, posted by people near New York, that contain links (and thus are likely to point out stories and pictures on the Web).
To get a feed, just run your search, and then on the results page, look in the upper-right corner for the RSS logo and the link "Feed for this query."
Of course, it works with simple queries, too, like the results for a search on your name.
