In general, techniques are described for performing an intra block copying process to code video data. A video decoding device that includes a memory and one or more processors may perform the techniques. The memory may be configured to store a current block of a picture. The processors may be configured to perform an intra block copying process to decode the current block using a prediction block that is from a same slice or a same tile as that in which the coded current block resides, the prediction block restricted to be within a search region that only includes the same slice or the same tile as that in which the coded current block resides.
