Ember data find vs load - ember.js

Question

When you use findQuery in ember-data, does it also load the model localy ? I can't make the following code to work :
App.MyModel = DS.Model.extend {
name: DS.attr('string')
didLoad: ->
console.log('model loaded')
}
Now when I do something like :
objects = App.store.find(App.MyModel, [{name: "john"},{name: "jack"}])
The didLoad callback is not fired. When this callback is fired ?

To implement the query functionality you have to implement the findQuery method in your adapter. This method takes 4 arguments store, type, query, modelArray. When the server returns the data for the query, you have to invoke the load method on the modelArray to fill it with the query result. This method also loads the data into the store, see an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/pangratz666/5HMGd/.
App.store = DS.Store.create({
revision: 4,
adapter: DS.Adapter.create({
find: Ember.K,
findQuery: function(store, type, query, modelArray) {
// expect server to return this array
modelArray.load([{ id: 1, name: 'John'}, { id: 2, name: 'Jack'}]);
}
})
});
App.MyModel = DS.Model.extend({
name: DS.attr('string'),
didLoad: function() {
console.log('model loaded', this.toJSON());
}
});
// invoke query which loads the 2 models, and didLoad is called
App.store.find(App.MyModel, {});
