How to pass <h:inputText> value to managed bean with <f:ajax>

I have a search function. When user input some text to inputText it suppose to search the text. This function I want to do with ajax function. I don't submit all the form values. 

<td colspan="2" align="right">
    <h:inputText id="searchTxtBox" value="#{catelogue.searchTxt}">
    </h:inputText>
</td>
<td>
   <h:commandLink value="Search"><f:ajax event="click" listener="#{catelogue.findText}" render="@form"/></h:commandLink>
</td>

When click Search button, the searchTxt variable in the managed bean is null.

How can I get the value to back bean ?

1) Make sure your code is inside a h:form tag

2) This should be your f:ajax code:

<f:ajax execute="searchTxtBox" listener="#{catelogue.findText}" 
        render="<whatever you want to render"/>
