With 6.3 (and above), we can get this information using a REST API call. For example,
|rest /services/saved/searches/Test will give this information about the Saved Search "Test" in the updated data key such as the below:
updated
2015-12-30T18:51:48-08:00

The initial time will be for created and will be replaced by the time of last update.

This should help track when the searches were last updated.
