Search programatically in Select2 4.0 using ajax

[Lawrence Lagerlof]

Hi.

I have a select2 currently working doing ajax calls. But what I want is to programatically set a string to search in that select2. I tried these below, but no one worked:

$('#myselect2').select2("val", "my string");

$('#myselect2').select2('data', {id:1, text:"my string"});

$('#myselect2').select2('data', {id:1, label:"my string"});

$('#myselect2').select2("search", "my string");

$('#myselect2').select2().val("my string").trigger("change");

("my string" exist in the database and searching by it manually works)

Thanks.

Select2 3.5.2 provided a `select2('search', 'term')` helper that allowed you to programmatically inject searches. This was not carried over in Select2 4.0.0, but you can find a helper function for doing this at this Stack Overflow answer.

Note that assigning data using `select2('data')` is also no longer supported in Select2 4.0.0.
