Saving the entire list of groups is a very expensive (in bandwidth and storage space) thing to do because there are tens of thousands of groups known to large installations; far too heavy a cost to outweigh the small benefit of the very occasional time that one really wants that list. (Even on my small server, the active file is half a megabyte.) However, rather than using `U', you might try going into server mode, via `^' in *Group*, and then selecting the server you want to examine with SPC. That will induce retrieval, and you can search and subscribe (and preview, for that matter) to your heart's content.
