how can I see if a contact is in a group without having to search groups??

Under the old way, I could see if a contact was in a specific group.  Now, I cannot see what group a contact is in without searching through the group(s).  Also, if I want to delete a name from a group, it will also delete the name from my contact oist.  The OLD WAY WAS EASIER AND USER FRIENDLY.  I'm ready to jump ship.  I just checked gmail and I can easily determine which group a contact is in and if I delete the contact from that group, I'm not deleting the contact from my contact list.  That's the way it use to be with hotmail prior to May 2013.
