Your new results type is a list of dicts.

Lists are indexed by a number. That will be results[1] for the dict 
relevant to "gengyang" (not even the 2 of the "id", because lists start 
counting at 0).

To find the entry for particular name, you have to search for it (for a 
list entry where the dict key "name" gives you the value you expect, ie. 
"gengyang" in this example).

So a dict of dicts was a better idea.
