Er, they weren't covering a smaller ground last time. They were literally searching the whole city for one person. That's why Yang went to an informant and Blake went to a rally, and Weiss and Ruby didn't even leave the school campus to get information on the SDC. This time they have a singular destination and therefore a much smaller starting point. All signs point to Haven itself, not the entire Kingdom. Start at Haven, search the grounds and interview the students about Cinder, and branch out from there as more leads appear.

Plus, they have grown stronger and can use the time they're in Haven getting stronger again. They were barely Huntresses in Painting the Town; they hadn't even completed half a year of school training. Now they've completed a full year of training plus spent months on the road getting on the job experience; the threats are tougher but so are they. And in a City as large as Mistral, they can eeasily blend while they search.
