Get a feeds aggregator. Then, tailor some RSS feeds as follows:
For Google:
http://www.benhammersley.com/tools/googlerss.cgi?q=[TERM1]%20[TERM2]
Replace [TERM1..2] with keywords
Note that you _may_ get duplicate results because it is a third-party
solution (a hack)

For Yahoo:
I suspect that they still only allow you to create feeds for news. For what
it's worth:
http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?p=[TERM1]+[TERM2]&ei=UTF-8&fl=0&x=wrt
Replace [TERM1..2] with keywords
Have a look around their sites as they only _very_ recently decided to
support normal searches as RSS feeds
---
M$N:
http://beta.search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=[TERM1]+[TERM2]&format=rss
Replace [TERM1..2] with keywords
This one appears to work most reliably

The following tool will do it.

If you work in Windows, you might need Cygwin installed.
