application.hbs

{{input value = search}}

Answer 1

Ember needs is deprecated and is now used differently.

It works like this:

applicationController: Ember.inject.controller('application'),
mySearch: Ember.computed.alias('applicationController.search')

In your hbs template -

{{mySearch}}

 is in sync with applications property "search".
