 This is because you don't have an alias does the derived table. Add
 "AS x" before the faulty parenthesis.
 
 Also, you are missing a semi-colon before ';'

 I can't even see a temp-table. I can see a common table expression,
 is that you are thinking of?

 Since you apparently haven't tested the code yet, I don't feel compelled
 to make a thorough review. But:
 
 > SET  @saveddate          =     (SELECT saved_date FROM SavedSearches WHERE
 > search_name=@searchname AND email_address=@emailaddy)
 > SET  @savedname          =     (SELECT saved_name FROM SavedSearches WHERE

 >...
 
 It would be more effecient and less verbose with:
 
 SELECT @saveddate = saved_date, @savedname = saved_name, ...
 FROM   SavedSearches
 WHERE  search_name=@searchname
 AND  email_address=@emailaddy
 
 Really what the CTE that returns a single column is supposed to mean,
 I don't know, but I guess that you find out when you test what you
 really intended.
