I had a problem like you too. And now I fix it. The problem is my json that return from my server contain a syntax error.

In http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/ tells that if there are some error in JSON, it will fail silently. The JSON must match the JSON standard here http://json.org/ .

For my error is my string in JSON is wrapping in only one quote. But the JSON standard accept only string that wrap in double quotes.

eg. "Hello World" not 'Hello World'

When you fix it you can set the source as string URL. The term will be in "term" query string. And it works!!
