Saving searches & alerts
You can save your current search or any other search you have made during a session, and set an alert to advise you of updates via email or RSS.
When signed in
If you are signed in, you can save a search to use after the current session. The Save search/ Set an alert link appears at the top of your search results. Click the link and in the window that appears you can give your search a name, and choose to receive email alerts as well. This saved search will be available in the Saved searches and email alerts folder in your eShelf whenever you sign in, unless you decide to delete it.
If you choose to set an email alert, your search will automatically run weekly and you will receive new results by email to the address you specify in My preferences. You can also rename your saved search, remove your email alert or subscribe to an RSS feed of updates to your search.
You can also set up an RSS feed direct from the search results page.
Tips: If you save your search as an RSS feed using a feed reader or browser, it will not appear in "Saved searches and email alerts" folder of your eShelf. If you click on Delete both the saved search and the email alert will be removed from your eShelf.
As a guest or not signed in
For any search you perform as a guest or when not signed in, you can elect to receive updates as an RSS feed if you have feed reader installed on your computer, or if your browser supports RSS.
You cannot save searches however all the searches you perform during each session are listed in the folder in your Guest eShelf called This session's queries. These searches are only available for this session. That is, they will disappear from the list as soon as you close your browser.
You also cannot set email alerts as a guest.
