Is there a way to get e-mail notifications for new "Sell & Buy" posts that match my search terms?

I check the "Sell & Buy" section of KVR every day and often twice a day, yet I still constantly find that other users are beating me to the punch when something I want appears for sale. In many cases I'll notice the post 6-10 hours after it goes up, and that's already too late and the item is sold! I can't afford to spend all day refreshing the forum, so the only solution I can imagine is to get e-mail notifications when a new post goes up that contains matching terms for the products I'm interested in. Is there any way to do this? I'm guessing not, but figured I should ask just in case there's a board feature that I'm missing. If I'm right in thinking that it's not possible, I'd like to formally request that some functionality along these lines be added. I think I speak for many of us in saying that it would be a huge help.
Of course I realize that I could just do a WTB thread for those items and get e-mails when a reply or PM comes in on my thread, but that's a whole different thing and not really a substitute for what I've described...

Yes, monitoring tools like Distill can be configured. But it can be tricky to configure such tools to ignore the various non-content elements (ads, notifications). Setup can be a bit complicated for non-technical users.
If "watch" functionality were integrated into KVR, it would help everyone.
