You can serve a search warrant anytime after it is issued by a judge. Sometimes time is of the essence, other times the serving agency may want to wait until certain conditions are just right.

How do I find out if I have a search warrant?
If the warrant is actually being "served" on you then it's probably in your best interests not to resist its service. Afterwards you can determine if it was valid or not by contacting the Clerk of The Court, from which the warrant was issued to determine if it is on file, or not.
Do police have to show you the search warrant prior to breaking down your door?
No they do not. If they have a signed search warrant they are allowed to enter without notice. They are only required to show you the warrant upon your request to see it. If they do not allow you to see the warrant, this could potentially invalidate the search and make any evidence found against you during the search inadmissible.Added: While the above may be true in the specific case of the service of search warraants, it is NOT so in the case of the service of an arrest warrant. Mere knowledge of the existence of an arrest warrant for an individual is sufficient to take that person into custody. The arrestee need not be shown the actual warrant at the time of arrest.
