Cannot Get Typeahead.js Working with MVC 5 Over Remote - asp.net-mvc-5

Question

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I cannot get typeahead working in my MVC 5 application. I installed everything via NuGet and my view includes #Scripts.Render("~/bundles/typeahead"), which is rendering properly when viewing the source of the view. So the issue isn't that the dependencies are missing.
I am not seeing any drop down appear when I start typing, and using Fiddler I do not see any calls being made out to the remote that I setup that pulls the data.
Here's the line in my view that typeahead is being attached:
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.MainInfo.CompanyName,
new { #class = "form-control typeahead", id = "comp-name", autocomplete="off" })
Here's the portion of my script that configures typeahead and bloodhound:
$(document).ready(function() {
var clients = new Bloodhound({
datumTokenizer: function (datum) {
return Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace(datum.value);
},
queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
remote: {
url: "/info/client?like=%QUERY",
wildcard: '%QUERY',
filter: function (clients) {
return $.map(clients, function (client) {
return {
value: client.Name,
clientId: client.Identifier
};
});
}
}
});
clients.initialize();
$('#comp-name').typeahead(null,
{
display: 'value',
minLength: 1,
source: clients.ttAdapter(),
templates: {
empty: "Looks like a new client...",
suggestion: Handlebars.compile("<p><b>{{value}}</b> - {{clientId}}</p>")
}
});
});
Is there something that I've configured wrong in my javascript? I've used a few tutorials as well as their own documentation, but I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong here. It almost feels like it's not properly initialized, but there are no errors being thrown.
NOTE: Just as an FYI I'm using Bootstrap 3 as well in case that changes anything.
EDIT: Here's my #section Scripts:
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/typeahead")
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/handlebars.min.js")"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/ProjectSetupFormScripts.js")"></script> <-- this is where typeahead is set up

This did the trick for me:
JS
#section Scripts {
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
SetupTipeahead();
});
function SetupTipeahead() {
var engine = new Bloodhound({
remote: {
url: '/Employees/AllEmployees',
ajax: {
type: 'GET'
}
},
datumTokenizer: function (d) {
return Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace(d.FullName);
},
queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace
});
engine.initialize();
$('#FullName').typeahead(null, {
displayKey: 'FullName',
source: engine.ttAdapter(),
templates: {
empty: [
'<div class="empty-message">',
'No match',
'</div>'
].join('\n'),
suggestion: function (data) {
return '<p class="">' + data.FullName + '</p><p class="">' + data.ManNumber + '</p>';
}
}
});
}
</script>
EmployeesController has the following JsonResult
public JsonResult AllEmployees()
{
return Json(db.Employees.ToList(),JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

Hello try to wrap your script in #section scripts {} this will place the script at the bottom just before the </body> tag and make sure you are not calling the function before your bundles load.
#section scripts {
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var clients = new Bloodhound({
datumTokenizer: function (datum) {
return Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace(datum.value);
},
queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
remote: {
url: "/info/client?like=%QUERY",
wildcard: '%QUERY',
filter: function (clients) {
return $.map(clients, function (client) {
return {
value: client.Name,
clientId: client.Identifier
};
});
}
}
});
clients.initialize();
$('#comp-name').typeahead(null,
{
display: 'value',
minLength: 1,
source: clients.ttAdapter(),
templates: {
empty: "Looks like a new client...",
suggestion: Handlebars.compile("<p><b>{{value}}</b> - {{clientId}}</p>")
}
});
});
</script>
}
