As far as I can recall reading, they did go to a bunch of places to sell their idea. Needless to say, none of the companies took their idea seriously.

There's a difference between going to a potential investor in an attempt to sell your ideas, and putting it on the open internet for anybody to gank.

Well, yeah. But, did they go to yahoo to raise money for the company?

oh yes I remember that story. It seems they approached Digital Equipment Corporation to sell it to them for $1M and, they refused so these guys went ahead with their own search engine.
