[GAP Forum] Finding certain subgroups from very large group

Dear GAP forum
I have a very large group to study, say G (it is an automorphism group
of a small group). G has order of 10 million and I am interested in
knowing whether a certain known group, say H is a subgroup in G. To find
H is impossible in GAP, as GAP tries to calculate all the subgroups and
this process exceeds my computer's memory. Is there another command or
algorithm in GAP to compute subgroup of specific order only, or at least
limit the subgroup order? I used SONATA to obtain the subgroups by the
way. Thanks in advanced.
Sincerely
Kher Sham Lim
