1. A system for providing material based on a user-initiated request, the system comprising:
a server connected to a network;
a first electronic memory connected to one or both of the server and the network, the first electronic memory comprising a stored data structure from a first entity, wherein the data structure maps selected keyword combinations to corresponding icons and/or links, and to particular material corresponding to each keyword combination;
wherein the server is configured to:
present one or more icons and/or links associated with user-initiated results having at least a portion of corresponding selected keywords using the stored data structure;
store received contact data of a particular user in a record of an initial table of a second electronic memory;
transform data in at least one or more fields of the record for the particular user in the initial table to generate a record for the particular user in a sanitized table of the second electronic memory; and
cause the sending of particular material received from the first entity, the particular material corresponding to the user-initiated request using a user selected icon and/or link and contact data for the particular user obtained from the sanitized table.
