In your $.ajax call, you're not specifying a success callback:

$.ajax({
    url: 'ajax/jsonencode.php'+querystring,
    beforeSend: function(){
        alert("beforeSend");
    },
    async:    true,
    dataType: "json"
});

Since the widget expects you to invoke the response function to supply the suggestions, you should do something like this:

$.ajax({
    url: 'ajax/jsonencode.php'+querystring,
    beforeSend: function(){
        alert("beforeSend");
    },
    async:    true,
    dataType: "json",
    success: response
});

That assumes your data has at least a label or value property.
