Yes, this is more the idea.  We are not looking for vulns. or xploits, rather trying to intelligently "guess" what else 
is in that directory. Either through dictionary use or other use. For example the following is publicly accessible:

http://www.microsoft.com/new_products/bigwinner2003.html

We want to find out what else might be in "new_products" so we plug in say the words "big" "winner" "2003" and let our 
dictionary spin:

 biggerwinner2003.html - nothing
 bigloser2002.html - hit

etc.

Combining the dictionary and words from a specific site or files visible publicly, we try to guess the names of 
whatever else might be in that directory.

You can do this manually with small time sites and obvious file names e.g. index1.html...index2.html etc. Even 
annualreport2002.html is visible, try annualreport.2003.html

You can guess and hit on files that are not intended for public consumption.

If it can be automated with user input for obvious keywords, you probably could strike many interesting and sensitive 
files in the directory.
