Intentionally distributing spying trojans is illegal! ;-)

This Google search string locates other open directories at U.S. military
Web sites:

    "index +of" apache site:.mil

Google also finds close to 900,000 (!) open directories at .gov Web sites:

    "index +of" apache site:.gov

I always wonder if Google and other search engines intentionally look for
open directories.  For example, let's say that the Google search bot finds
a link of the form:

    http://www.example.com/docs/mayreport.htm

Will the Google bot also check out the URL http://www.example.com/docs/?
