I am using linkedinj java API. I search the key word android framework using the keyword search in API. It shows 110 results totally but when i search the same word in linkedin site it has 5616 results. I am confused why this difference occurs.

    BufferedReader kName = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
                String keyName = kName.readLine();

                searchParameters.put(SearchParameter.KEYWORDS, keyName);
People people =client.searchPeople(searchParameters);

Is any one can help to clarify?

do you have an authenticated user with the API call? How do you perform the search on the web - logged in or not? – Bozho May 15 '13 at 06:57
I searched using my credentials – user2196474 May 15 '13 at 07:17
and is the api call authenticated? – Bozho May 15 '13 at 07:25
