Ember.js setupController fired only once

Suppose I have a view:

CellarRails.SearchTextField = Ember.TextField.extend({
  templatename: 'index',
  insertNewline: function(){
    this.get('controller').set('query', this.get('value'));

    // calling search method of application controller
    this.get('controller').send('search');
    this.set('value', '');
  }
});

And an applicationController:

CellarRails.ApplicationController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  needs: ['search'],
  query: '',

  // here is the search method
  search: function() {

    // I'm using ember-query lib, which provides this helper, it acts just like usual transitionToRoute
    this.transitionToRouteWithParams('search', {
      q: this.get('computedQuery')
    });
  },
  computedQuery: function() {
    this.get('controllers.search').set('q', this.get('query'));
    return this.get('query');
  }.property('query')
});

So now it should be transitioned to searchRoute:

CellarRails.SearchRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  serializeParams: function(controller) {
    return {
      q: controller.get('q')
    };
  },
  deserializeParams: function(params, controller) {
    controller.set('q', params.q);
  },

  // pass CellarRails.Track model to SearchController's context
  setupController: function(controller, context, params) {
    console.log('setup controller hooked!');
    controller.set('context', CellarRails.Track.find(params));
  }
});

In the CellarRails.Track model I have redefined a find method. PROBLEM: This code works, but setupController hook fires only for the first time (when I transition from applicationRoute to searchRoute), BUT if I already in searchRoute this hook doesn't fire and find method of CellarRails.Track model doesn't fire too.

When you setup setupController on your route the model hook is not invoked. If you want that both hooks model and setupController should fire you have to call this._super(...) in your setupController hook to maintain the model hook default behaviour:

CellarRails.SearchRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  ...
  model: function(params) {
    return CellarRails.MyModel.find();
  },
  setupController: function(controller, model) {
    this._super(controller, model);
    ...
  }
  ...
});

Hope it helps.

try using the model: hook in the SearchRoute

model: function ( params, transition ) {
    return CellarRails.Track.find(params);
}

This gets called if you navigate direct to the url, hopefully the required params will be in the params but try doing a debug on it to check :)
