As Chris suggested the location of the error points to an issue with 
request parameters / session attributes. The form you submit to search 
should have:

<input type="hidden" name="newSearch" value="Y"/>

The error indicates that this parameter is not passed - or something placed 
in the session is not available. Do you get the error if you login, go 
straight to the group, click 'Add members' and search?

This is a somewhat bad error message which actually means you need to add a 
folder id. The UI doesn't indicate it is mandatory - nor the error message 
- so we should change that.
