Searching for "groups"

Is there any way for me to do so?  Right now, it appears that I can only install and/or check if a package is in a group, but there's no actual way to "list" these groups without searching through every package and getting the unique group names.  Is there a way to do this in a better way, or is there some application which can automate the process, so that I don't have to do it myself?

           names are provided, all groups will be listed; pass the flag twice to

Oh, wow.  I do remember checking the manual, but I haven't, recently.  Is this a new feature?

Anyways, sorry, but thank you for the help.
