Autocomplete suggestion not working for ajax

Question

I have used bootstrap typeahead for autocomplete feature.

Following code is working perfect:

$(function () {
var $input = $(".typeahead");
$input.typeahead({
    source: [
       {id: "someId1", name: "Display name 1"},
       {id: "someId2", name: "Display name 2"}
    ],
    minLength: 2
});
});

But I want to use ajax search. So I have done changes as below:

$(function () {
var $input = $(".typeahead");
$input.typeahead({
    source: function(query, process) {
        return $.get('/search/good/auto-complete?term='+$('#search_searchtext').val());
    },
    minLength: 2
});
});

Above code executes ajax request but it does not show the suggestion from ajax response.

So please suggest me how can I do that.

Try

$(function () {
    var $input = $(".typeahead");
    $input.typeahead({
        source: function(query, process) {
            return $.getJSON(
                '/search/good/auto-complete?term='+$('#search_searchtext').val(),
                //{ query: query }, // <- Maybe you can use it instead of ?term='+$('#search_searchtext').val()
                function (data) {
                    var newData = [];

                    $.each(data, function(){
                        newData.push(this.name);
                    });

                    process(newData);

                    return;
                });
        },
        minLength: 2
    });
});
