    Find the Advanced Search link next to the Search Y!A button up near top of page. Use options there to narrow search. Save search and request emails. Be careful with answers. This isn't a free way to advertise your business. You may get violations for spamming or even get suspended. Read the rules carefully before posting.

    You can use the advanced search to set up a standard search for new questions. Then you can save that search as a RSS feed and when that updates, it will show all the new questions.
