Search Linkedin by single string?

How to search LinkedIn with a single string? My problem is that i have single name field in database... Normaly one would create dynamic url like this:

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/?first=John&last=Doe&search=Search

and LinkedIn returns all John Doe's as a result. My question is, is there a way to make a search by single string? Something like:

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/?keyword=John%20Doe&search=Search

I need a direct url implementation for my web, not the api.linkedin, so my example in mvc3 razor would be something like:

foreach(var item in Model.People)
{
    <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/?keyword="+
        item.Name +"&search=Search">item.Name</>
}

Is this aproach possible, or I need to use api. I have noticed that when you login to LinkedIn, there is a search by one string in upper right corner. Does normal(anonymus) version of web have this posibility??

you can use the following:

http://www.linkedin.com/ta/federator?query=example&types=mynetwork,company,group,sitefeature,skill

This will give you a result set in JSON
