Comment(by c9s):

 Hi datallah,

 Is it ok to add this menu to Buddies->Show->Group ? if do so ,  the menu
 could keep in narrow.

 sometimes not just search contacts, we could just want to view all
 contacts and easily scroll to read all contacts in all groups.

 Replying to [comment:2 datallah]:
 > Adding a new menu for this isn't a good idea - for many people, the
 menus are already the constraint preventing a narrower buddy list window
 and this would make it worse (keep in mind that the translated text can be
 significantly longer than the english text).
 >
 > Toward the goal of making searching easier, I'd rather have that
 functionality enhanced to search within collapsed groups and such instead
 of having to have the roundabout functionality to expand all groups.
