According to the Search reference in ArcGIS REST API: filter (i.e. defined in filter parameter) should be used instead of query".
However, it looks like the groups.search function inside ArcGIS API for Python only supports query search. I cannot find a way to do the filter search for ArcGIS groups.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

You are correct there is no filter parameter for the Python REST API group search function:
https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.gis.toc.html#arcgis.gis.Group.search
You can either employ the query parameter instead, or query the ArcGIS Rest API directly using the requests module, for example.
