Any search can be sent immediately to a watchlist as a list of symbols from the search menu. 

Make sure that Send To Watchlist is highlighted in the menu

Set the number of symbol in the limit search box.  We will use the default of 25

Click on either the list of team searches or your own searches and choose a search

The results of the search immediately appear in the watchlist.  You can also limit the search to another watchlist of symbols.  If we choose DJ 30 stocks, then run the search we get a new watchlist where the symbols only come from the Dow 30 Industrials.
