Abstract: A data table that is customizable by a user prior to accessing the internet or after accessing the internet. The user may use a simple keyword, such as a telephone number or facsimile number, to begin the search of a database or multiple databases. Once the keyword has retrieved the proper information, the system populates the table. This permits the user to easily access the internet and retrieve e-mail addresses or other relevant information by providing a phone number, facsimile number or other information relating to the particular entity. Using the data table, the system displays all information related to the keyword input as unique individual identifiers such as e-mail, phone, facsimile number or website address. Selecting one of the unique individual identifiers prompts the system to automatically invoke further action, such as dialing a phone number.
