How to find more (finite almost simple) groups with a given Sylow subgroup
If you are only interested in actions on the Sylow p-subgroup, you may not need to find all groups, but just all so-called p-fusion patterns, as formalized in the theory of fusion systems due to Puig, …

Why are Schur multipliers of finite simple groups so small?
The Schur multiplier $H^2(G;{\mathbb C}^\times) \cong H^3(G;{\mathbb Z})$ of a finite group is a product of its $p$-primary parts
$$H^3(G;{\mathbb Z}) = \oplus_{ p | |G|} H^3(G;{\mathbb Z}_{(p)})$$
