Sharing a saved search turns your private saved search into a public one by allowing colleagues within your organization (the recipients) to view it.
All saved searches that you (the creator) share appear in your My Saved Searches section without the
associated Delete icon 
next to them. This feature prevents you from deleting
a shared saved search. For more details, see Deleting
a Saved Search.
All saved searches that have been shared to you appear in your Saved Searches From My Organization section.

About Shared Saved Searches:
Saved searches can only be shared with your colleagues at your organization.
If the creator shares a search with syndication feed and e-mail notifications set, then these notifications are disabled for the recipients. To add notifications to a search that was shared to you, copy it so that it appears in the My Saved Searches section.
Recipients are not allowed to edit a shared saved search. To edit a shared search, you must first create a copy of it.
Creators are not allowed to delete a shared saved search. To delete a shared search, you must first unshare it.
A recipient can remove a shared
search from their view (via the icon). This action does not remove the search
from the view of the creator or other recipients.
In the recipient's Saved Searches portlet, shared saved search names have the creator's name suffixed to the end of the search name. Saved searches that you created have your name suffixed to the end of the search name if you shared it.
