I see that the word "query" is pronounced:

/ˈkwɪəri/

I was wondering whether there is any word in English that sounds:

/ˈkwiri/

Is there some kind of reverse pronunciation lookup resource online?

    The combination /ir/ in English only occurs in compound words like reread and three-ring. (Although some Americans use the pronunciation [ir] for words containing /ɪər/.)

    There's a website that does this for American English (although it doesn't use IPA). See this question.
