To take advantage of ember data you could do it this way. Assuming you have a model like this:

App.SearchResult = DS.Model.extend({
  firstName: DS.attr('string'),
  lastName: DS.attr('string'),
  city: DS.attr('string')
});

and then you do in your Route's model hook you do this:

App.SearchResultsRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function(params){
    return App.SearchResult.find({firstName:params.firstName,lastName:params.lastName,city:params.city})
  }
});

this way the RESTAdapter will automatically issue a request like your example:

http://localhost/#/searchresults?firstname=xxx&lastname=xxx&city=xxx

Hope it helps
