Answer 1

Again I suggest Simple and Easy

Its Working Perfect with ajax when user search and select it saves the selected information via ajax

 $("#vendor-brands").select2({
   ajax: {
   url:site_url('general/get_brand_ajax_json'),
  dataType: 'json',
  delay: 250,
  data: function (params) {
  return {
    q: params.term, // search term
    page: params.page
  };
},
processResults: function (data, params) {
  // parse the results into the format expected by Select2
  // since we are using custom formatting functions we do not need to
  // alter the remote JSON data, except to indicate that infinite
  // scrolling can be used
  params.page = params.page || 1;

  return {
    results: data,
    pagination: {
      more: (params.page * 30) < data.total_count
    }
  };
},
cache: true
},
escapeMarkup: function (markup) { return markup; }, // let our custom    formatter work
minimumInputLength: 1,
}).on("change", function(e) {


  var lastValue = $("#vendor-brands option:last-child").val();
  var lastText = $("#vendor-brands option:last-child").text();

  alert(lastValue+' '+lastText);
 });
