One way of doing this is to use the Google Places API, which will return the coordinates (amongst other details) of the place being queried. So will the Google Maps API geocoder, which you can use along with your Earth API application.

Whatever you use, you will eventually need the latitude and longitude of the location, at which point you can fly to it (see https://developers.google.com/earth/documentation/camera_control for snippet examples of this.)

If this does not answer your question please provide more details on exactly what you're trying to do and where you are stuck.
