According to Richard, Beyond has plans of making SearchSimpleton a full-fledged career-targeted search engine, as well as keeping its directory standing. SearchSimpleton is expected to have its search function fully integrated by the fourth quarter of 2005. The engine's index will be focused on providing niche-based sites, which targets the career-based industry. Richard also shares his vision for the future of Beyond.com by saying: "Beyond.com is focused on meeting the needs of business professionals, which do not start nor end with a traditional online job board or general search engine. Many business professionals consider job boards as a means to a new career and once they have found that new opportunity the usefulness of the job board dissipates. Beyond.com offers valuable services to allow business professionals to reach beyond their career and inspire individual growth throughout each stage of their entire life cycle. Our niche search network found at SearchSimpleton.com and our niche career network found at Beyond.com continues to go above and beyond what other more general sites can offer to business professionals. " Look for a follow-up on Beyond.com around the time of the SearchSimpleton search integration launch. Chris Richardson is a search engine writer and editor for latest search news.
