Getting Values from JSON with jQuery (invalid label)

I can't figure out how to grab the "text" value from this json feed. The response in Firebug starts like this:


{"results":[{"text":"some text that i want here","from_user":"Bill".....

The code below is giving me an invalid label.

$(function(){
$.getJSON("http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=twitter&jsoncallback=?", function(data) {
$.each(data.results, function(i,item){
$("#tweet").append('<h1>' + item.text + '</h1>');
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="tweet"></div>

</html>

[Solved] The url I was using wasn't correct. If someone is reading this with the same problem, here's the working getJSON function:

$.getJSON("http://search.twitter.com/search.json?callback=?&rpp=50&q=opera", function(data) {
$.each(data.results, function(i, item){
$("#tweet").append(item.text + '<br />');
});
});
