search for linkedin users by first and last name in network #141

I am trying to search linked in users by first and last name and so far I've come up with this:

@profiles = linkedin_client.search(:first_name => fname, :last_name => lname, :sort => "connections", :fields => %w(id first-name last-name headline industry location api-standard-profile-request picture_url public_profile_url summary));

One question I have is, will ":first_name" work as the parameter "first-name"? What is mean is the underscore a good substitute for the dash ("-")?

The problem is that it will not return any results, even when I know the user's name exists. Thanks for the help!
