Didn't know about compare-windows before...  I just tried it, and while
it's possibly the right tool (after getting used to it), it does seem a
bit terse -- one thing I like about using isearch is the friendly
highlighting.

Perhaps a wrapper around compare-windows (which would repeatedly invoke
it and leave a "trail" of overlays to highlight its progress) would be
useful.
