How do I search all the buffers for the occurance of a word?

    I think you'll have to code some elisp for that.

In Emacs 21.3.50 from CVS there is the `multi-occur' command.

I posted a similar question some time ago (two weeks). You can
look the threat "search and replacement at once in some
buffers". There you'll find that the answer to your question
is ibuffer.el which permits to operate on buffers as you do on
files being in Dired.

I'd like to add the following remark. When working on a latex
document spread along some files you can use the functions
provided by RefTeX to operate on all your project's files as if
all they were one large file.

Hope that helps

Best regards,
luis
