Importing JSON based remote data to Select2 using AJAX

The aim is to import data from the Controller side to a Select2 element (with multiselect toggled on). I want the setup to look something like the tags box in Stack Overflow, wherein you can begin typing a tag, select it, and select another one later.

I have been using the Select2 documentation as a reference, however the request isn't being sent to the Controller.

Select2 Documentation

My Code:

$(".jsData").select2({          
    ajax: {
        contentType: 'application/json',
        url: '<%=Url.Action("GetDataMethod","RelevantController")%>',
        type: 'POST',
        dataType: 'json',
        data: function (term) {
            return {
                sSearchTerm: term
            };
        },
        results: function (data) {
            var datajs = $.map(data, function (obj) {
                obj.text = obj.someterm; // desired field,
                obj.id = obj.someId;
                return obj;
            });
            return {
                results: JSON.parse("[" + datajs.split(",") + "]")
            };
        }
    },
    multiple: true         
});

I'm relatively new to bringing data dynamically to Select 2, so any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!
