Cannot run equalTo query with input binding.

Cannot run equalTo query with input binding.

You should probably watch inputText to unbind and bind as it changes.
For the firebase function, you can use a fallback content there: this.inputText || '' but this shouldn't be necessary since inputText should be defined. If you manage to provide a repro for that particular case, I'd look into it

Thanks for the help! Here's how I changed the code in case someone finds it useful:

<template>
  <div>
    <form v-on:submit.prevent="onSubmit">
      <input type="text" v-model="inputText">
      <input type="submit" value="Search">
    </form>
    <p>{{ queryResult }}</p>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import db from './firebasedb.js';
export default {
  name: 'test',
  data() {
    return {
      inputText: '',
      queryResult: {},
    }
  },
  methods: {
    onSubmit() {
      if (this.inputText) {
        this.$bindAsObject(
          'queryResult',
          db.ref('customers').orderByChild('firstName').equalTo(this.inputText)
        );
      }
    },
  },
}
</script>

This code is working as expected, but I have one more question: Do I need to add this.$unbind('queryResult'); before this.$bindAsObject(...) and add some logic for the case where onSubmit method is being called for the first time? Are there any drawbacks with this current solution?

Yes, you need to (both questions).
You may be doing too many requests if no throttle is added (https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/migration.html#debounce-Param-Attribute-for-v-model-removed)
