Get lookup who's name matches a text field on the same form.

I have a text field, I want to use some Javascript on it to find a related record with the same name and populate a lookup on the same form with the retrieved record.

Does anyone have a code example for this?

I was trying to use a web API request, but I believe i have some bad code around selecting a record where the name is 'eq' the same in the record being retrieved.

function retrieveAddressViaText() {

    var newid = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_zipcode").getValue();
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();


    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl()   "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/new_postalcodeSet('new_PostalCode' eq '"   newid   "')?$select=new_State,new_City,new_Country,new_PostalCode", true);
    req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
    req.onreadystatechange = function () {
        if (this.readyState === 4) {
            this.onreadystatechange = null;
            if (this.status === 200) {

                alert(results.new_PostalCodeId);

                var result = JSON.parse(this.responseText).d;
                var State = result.new_State;
                var City = result.new_City;
                var Country = result.new_Country;
                var PostalCode = result.new_PostalCode;

                Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_state").setValue(State);
                Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_city").setValue(City);
                Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_country").setValue(Country);
                Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_zipcode").setValue(PostalCode);
                
                var lookup = new Object();
                var lookupValue = new Array();
                lookup.id = result.new_PostalCodeId.Id;
                lookup.entityType = "new_postalcode";
                lookup.name = result.new_PostalCodeId.Name;
                lookupValue[0] = lookup;
                Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_zipcodelookup").setValue(lookupValue);
                Xrm.Page.getControl("new_zipcodelookup").clearNotification();

            } else {
                Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText);
            }
        }

    };
    req.send();

}
