Very odd. Also seems to happen on all other queries that return
results. Server error is:

Error - <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: unbound method __unicode__()
must be called with Package instance as first argument (got nothing
instead)

We'll look into this asap. In the mean time, this does not look to be
an issue on other ckan instances so can I suggest you try developing
against against http://test.ckan.net/, e.g. try:

http://test.ckan.net/api/search/package?all_fields=1&q=road
