I would personally split out the TV shows, not group any, if the CH tags might influence matching much. I don't know TNG much at all for instance, and though I know both DS9 and Voyager I'm only so-so on being able to write Voyager. Otherwise (Ent/AOS/TOS/movies) that does make sense to me though, and unless I'm misunderstanding how the CH tags work I think I could work with the grouping regardless because obviously my character/group choices would only be ones I know I can write anyway...
Edit yet again sorry: okay actually I think I get the use of CH a bit better now. So (assuming they're all split out) if say I wanted to write Jadzia Dax and Janeway but I wanted it to be in a DS9 setting I'd need to match with someone on: Star Trek, Group: Jadzia & Janeway, CH: DS9. Whereas if someone wanted to request Jadzia on Voyager, they'd select CH: Voy.
If I'm understanding that correctly as part of the point of CH's then yes, I would vote for splitting them out. I would potentially be comfortable to write/request one but not the other depending on the CH. I don't know how common my less consistent Trek exposure is, but given the shows are generally pretty long and they're older canons now, I'd say I'm probably not the only person who might need them split.
Of course if I'm totally misunderstanding that use of CH, group away! :P
