Passing Data Back to Components

I currently have a component a couple of components. One is a component to display all my table view data, and inside of that component, is another to display the search fields. They look like so:

{{#table-display model=model}}

    <table class="data-table">
       <thead>
         <tr>
           <th>Status</th>
           <th>Name</th>
           <th>Email Address</th>
         </tr>
       </thead>
       <tbody>
       {{#each filteredModel as |contact| }}
         {{#link-to 'contacts.edit' contact tagName="tr"}}
           <td>{{ current-status model=contact }}</td>
           <td>{{ contact.name }}</td>
           <td><em>{{ contact.name }}</em></td>
           <td><em>{{ contact.email }}</em></td>
         {{/link-to}}
       {{/each}}
       </tbody>
     </table>

{{/table-display}}

Then inside of the table-display component, I have my search filter input.

{{input value=filterString placeholder="Search Contacts" }}

The table filtering works if I put the table into the table-display component, but not if it's just within the component. What am I doing wrong here?
