I don't know of any search engine that actually probes random possible page addresses. They only follow links, and if there are no links to it, they won't find it.
Just takes one person to link to it. As demonstrated. This is extremely poor security that I would really not recommend. A simple .htaccess lock will at least make the spread of access word of mouth (so to speak). I'd recommend .htaccess locks to pretty much everyone for things they don't want google to find.
