Body: <p>i wanted to just merge records that are in a Group.  But the documentation seems to indicate that the records that will be flagged as duplicates will be from where at least 1 of the record is within the Group.  How can i configure to flag pairs where both records are from the designated Group?  Thanks.</p>

  If @username_2 answer does not work for any reason I would try putting all duplicate candidates in a new (smart) group and then search contacts that has to be in *both* groups: the original and the new – ordered by name or display name.
