Search your LinkedInbox with ease
How many times have you thought to yourself? Wouldn’t it be nice if I could search through my Inbox on LinkedIn. We are really glad to announce this much requested feature this week, close on the heels of the LinkedIn Group Search functionality announced by my colleague, Ben, a few days ago.
1. Where can I find LinkedIn Search?
Start looking along the horizontal navigation header on the homepage (see above screenshot)
You may notice this one-stop search drop-down menu also includes the ability to search within LinkedIn Groups, in addition to searching your Inbox.
2. Let’s Search!
How about looking for any Inbox communication thread with the “developer” keyword in my Inbox. Remember this search will also produce results from your Inbox’s Archives.
The greyed-out results are pulled from your Archive. So, you don’t lose any communication you’ve received.
Feel free to leave your feedback, comments at the end of this post. We believe this will definitely help you navigate your professional life with far greater ease.

I used to be able to archive messages to get them out of sight. I have no need to see invitations that has already been accepted. They are just cluttering my inbox. The archive feature has been removed and I can not see any reason for it.
Why have you decided to remove that feature?
Why can I no longer archive sent messages/invitations?

This is a bit off topic, but can we expect a LinkedIn app for the new iPhone 3G any time in the near future?

Nice. But when will we get to archive our sent invitations again?

I wish I knew how to delete my name . . . somehow this information is not easy to find anywhere on your site which causes some concern. PLease post how to remove a name/profile so users can get de-linked if they’d like to. THanks ! ! !

I agree with Peter. I would like to be able to archive accepted invitations I have sent, but am no longer able to do that. Why was this feature removed? I asked about this about 8 months ago and thought that it was going to be part of an update by now.
