AngularJS - Using a Service as a Model, ng-repeat not updating

Question

I\'m creating an ajax search page which will consist of a search input box, series of filter drop-downs and then a UL where the results are displayed.

As the filters

In your HTML, you need to reference a property defined on your controller's $scope. One way to do that is to bind $scope.searchService.results to searchService.results once in your controller:

$scope.searchService.results = searchService.results;

Now this line will work:

In your service, use angular.copy() rather than assigning a new array reference to results, otherwise your controller's $scope will lose its data-binding:

var new_results = [{ 'title': 'title 3' }, 
                   { 'title': 'title 4' }];
angular.copy(new_results, results);

Fiddle. In the fiddle, I commented out the initial call to find(), so you can see an update happen when you type something into the search box.
