I noticed that there is no group search in the API search capability. It would help if there was a way to query the GL API for a group. Currently the workaround is to list all groups available to the user and then filter from there. This leads to very inefficient runtimes as groups and projects scale up. An arguably more efficient workaround is to search for a known project in the group, and get the group from there.
It would be really helpful if we were able to simply search for GitLab groups using the API instead of having to use workarounds to programmicably find a group in GitLab
