When is it best to tell your manager/boss about a job you applied for?
When you are actively looking or when you’re hired and putting in your 2 weeks notice?

You don't, unless you need a reference check from them.
Otherwise there's no need to tell them until you have a confirmed job offer from the new place that you can then choose to accept or decline.
Providing you either work out your notice period, or the employer elects to pay you out straight away in lieu of notice, and return any property that belongs to the employer (clothes/uniform, devices, keys/security, vehicle, etc.) you're not bound to the old employer in any way once your tenure ends.
Ensure you clear your personal data off any devices (and from any work-based computer systems you log into), and do a full factory reset on them prior to hand-back, and if you have a vehicle get everything that's yours out of it.
If you have a private vehicle on any sort of novated lease you need to talk to the leasing provider and the new employer to see if the new employer supports novated leasing arrangements with the place your existing employer uses, otherwise start working out how to transfer the lease to a new leasing company.
