Limit select2 results

I am using the excellent select2 jquery plugin to select tags.

I am not able to find a way to limit the results (say to first 5 only).

My code:

var tags = []; // this array is filled with user's tags
$("#tags").select2({
    minimumInputLength: 2,
    placeholder: 'tags',
    tags: tags,
    tokenSeparators: [",", " "],
    closeOnSelect: false
});

Any ideas?

If you're getting results via a database call then you could edit the LIMIT statement in the SQL query. For example, this would only return the first 10 results:

SELECT id,categories FROM wikitags WHERE categories LIKE :term ORDER BY 
categories ASC LIMIT 0,10

If a remote call then appreciate the solution much trickier.

How about 

tags = tags.slice(0, 5);

wherever relevant in your context.
