Selecting multiple groups in Advanced Search

Might it be possible at some point to alter Civi so that you can select multiple groups in the Advanced Search dropdown in one fell swoop, rather than having to select them one at a time?

this is already possible now. just select the first group you want to search for and then, click on the drop down arrow and select the additional groups. additionally, you can do a custom search using the "Include / Exclude Contacts in a Group / Tag" search.

hope this was helpful,
cynthia

Thanks.  I know I can build up multiple groups in Advanced Search by selecting them one at a time but I was wondering if it's possible to actually select all the ones I want at the same time from the dropdown by using Cmd to select say 15 groups all at once.  It would mean the Groups dropdown having the same properties as the current State/Province dropdown in Adv Search from which you can select multiple options in one go.

I can do this via the Not in groups/tags search but as I want other fields in my search I have to use Advanced Search.  It's not a big deal at all - just a timesaver rather than having to re-open the list 15 separate times to select 15 different groups!
