LinkedIn connection search by first name and last name

Is there way to search first name and last name for linkedin connection filter using LinkedIn API?

Suppose I am authenticated by linkedIn and show connection in popup.LinkedIn connection response only 500 connection one time request. So I do paging 500 connection. But I want to send invitations to two persons, so I want to give search widget by first name and last name from my LinkedIn connections.

You could use the People Search API to search on first and last name, restricting the search to just your connections:

http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people-search?first-name=Clair&last-name=Smith&facet=network,F

Update:

In terms of 'filtering' the returned values to remove the current user making the call from the result set, you should check for the returned user's relationship to the viewer:

http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people-search:(people:(id,first-name,last-name,relation-to-viewer:(distance)))?first-name=Clair&last-name=Smith&facet=network,F

Then check the results, and remove the users that have a relation-to-user of 0.
