Webpage Displayed in Gui

My game has a website with a growing database of information. I'd like to make it so the player can open a GUI, write in the name of what he wants to search for (AKA "Evil Monster") and get information on it. I saw something called QTWebkit, which frankly looks greatly beyond my intelligence, but the main problem is that it's not really Mac friendly.
Before you tell me to get a "real" computer (coughcoughRichard Ranftcoughcough :P) I'd like to know if anyone has a multi-platform solution. As I said, so far, all I have is a GUI where you write the name of whatever you're searching for in the box, press "search" and then it goes to the web page. Has someone found a way to do this with minimal pain?

As for QT... Gah, it's no use. All of the stuff there is for windows... I haven't been able to find something else that works. Please tell me there's an alternative.

Now that you're back, go read about Qt WebKit.
Now you know that it's not Windows only - it's a cross-platform UI kit. The thread you linked only covers getting it working in the Windows build of T2D, but that's not the same thing by a long shot.
As for alternatives, a simple google search turned up several.

I... have no idea what I'm doing. XP Question: what does QT Webkit help with, exactly? Is it just flash and Facebook? Because all I really want is to get text from a webpage. Is that possible to do with just a GUI or something, QT aside?
