Hi Elizabeth, You can use Copy Location Groups within Search Filter Groups. The syntax is "location_groups(1,2,3,...)". They would certainly be easier to maintain, particularly if your location groups are already configured, but they would have no effect either way on the speed of the search as compared to bare copy locations.
