In Select2 3.x, you can pass a function as the ajax.url option. It will be passed the current search term as the first parameter, which sounds like what you are looking for.

$element.select2({
   ...
    ajax: {
        url: function (term) {
            return '/tags/' + term;
        },
        ...
    }
});
