I'm trying to implement a search using reddit's api, but am not having much luck:

http://www.reddit.com/search.json?q=ferrari?jsonp=?

It's returning some json formatted text but no results.. If I search cars, it returns 2 results, and the rest of my code won't recognize the objects. (Plus, I know there's more than 2 results for cars). Any idea on how to modify the URL?

Your URL looks wrong. I think you used a question mark instead of an amp to separate request variables.

I tried using http://www.reddit.com/search.json?q=ferrari and I got a lot of results in JSON format.

This will allow you to do the most basic search for reddit posts.

You can add other parameters, described on the reddit API page : http://www.reddit.com/dev/api#GET_search. You can also limit your search to one subreddit.

For example, to get the same results, sort by newest : http://www.reddit.com/search.json?q=ferrari&sort=new
