Hi Irina,
site:linkedin.com inurl:in OR inurl:pub C++ AND Java "San Francisco Bay Area" "Connections * 1 connection"

The result in google showed 3 profiles.
When you click on Joong-Ho (Johann) Won - the profile shows 5 connections. When you use Cached it shows 1 connection.

Thanks for the chance!

Andrea,

39 results on yahoo - great! 39 is not the right answer though.

You are close! Can you explain how you got the answer?

How about people with zero connections?

Question to all: can you use yahoo to find profiles with zero connections? If not, why not?

[Minal Dudhgaonkar]

38 Profiles. Out of the 40 profiles one profile has 2 connections & the other one seems to be a company profile - HiFi Logics Inc.
