Stesps :

    map: {
        '*': {
            
            dropdownSearchSelector:  'Vasan_Bidding/js/dropdown-search-selector'

        }
    },
    shim: {
        'dropdownSearchSelector': {
            deps: ['jquery']
        }
    },

In layout xml file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="admin-2columns-left" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <head>

</select>

.....................


<script type="text/javascript">
    require(['jquery', 'dropdownSearchSelector', 'domReady!'],function($){
        'use strict';

        $(function() {
           
            $('.control-select2').select2({});
        });
    });
</script>
