Add an 'initialQuery' option when using ajax and you initially click the widget about select2 HOT 3 CLOSED

this is how select2 already works. when it is opened updateResults() method is called which performs the query.

if you want to "merge" initial data with further-loaded remote data you should probably roll your own query() function and handle it within that.

i know @justindujardin was working on something similar, maybe he can give you some pointers.

I'm talking about it showing the first n rows without typing in anything

i think we are talking about the same thing. this is, for example, how Select2 shows all the select choices when it is first opened - the query function matches all options when search is empty.

so, if you do not set the minimumInputLength parameter, or set it to zero, query() is called when the select2 is opened and returned choices will be displayed right away.
