LinkedIn no longer lets you do a people search very easily. However, you can use the Bing web search API to find a person's LinkedIn profile url.
Enter a full name and optionally a company name as well.
This can also be accomplished with a normal Bing search by including "site:linkedin.com" in the search request.
