Ng-model does not update controller value

by

Probably silly question, but I have my html form with simple input and button:

<input type="text" ng-model="searchText" />
<button ng-click="check()">Check!</button>
{{ searchText }}

Then in the controller (template and controller are called from routeProvider):

$scope.check = function () {
    console.log($scope.searchText);
}

Why do I see the view updated correctly but undefined in the console when clicking the button?

Thanks!

Update:
Seems like I have actually solved that issue (before had to come up with some workarounds) with:
Only had to change my property name from searchText to search.text, then define empty $scope.search = {}; object in the controller and voila… Have no idea why it’s working though ;]
