Comment 1 for bug 1506654

The best way would be to change the:

Search for... Groups

into
Search for ... My Groups
Search for ... All Groups

and add

Search for ... Institutions

So that we don't need to 'Groups' and 'Institutions' sections in that dropdown

It would end up looking like:

Search for...
  Friends
  Users
  All groups
  My groups <-- only display these options the user belongs to groups/non 'mahara' institutions
  Institutions <--
General
  Public
  Registered users
