There are no other

Answer 1

I used a static var:

private static $_handleCustomerFirstSearchCounter = 1;

public function Savest($observer) {
    if (self::$_handleCustomerFirstSearchCounter > 1) {
        return $this;
    }

    $customerData = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();
    $model = Mage::getModel('customerst/customerst')
        ->setQueryText(Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('q'))
        ->setCustomerId($customerData->getId())
        ->setCustomerName($customerData->getName())
        ->save();

    self::$_handleCustomerFirstSearchCounter++;
}
