I was able to do it with a slight tweak of the code posted here:
http://www.nabble.com/How-to-change-value-of-select-dropdown--tf2308098.html#a6420831
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.fn.option = function(value){
return this.each(function(){
var select = $(this)[0];
for(var i = 0; i < select.length; i++)
if(select[i].innerHTML == value)
select.selectedIndex = i;
});
};
$(function(){
$('#kwd').keyup(function(){
$('#list').option(this.value);
});
});
</script>
<form>
<input type="text" id="kwd" name="kwd" />
<select id="list" name="list">
<option value="0"></option>
<option value="1">bar</option>
<option value="2">foo</option>
<option value="3">far</option>
</select>
</form>
