How can I search in all my buffers?

How can I search in all my buffers?

[Wang Yin]

I know I can search text with grep, TAGS, ...
But I often need to search in my opened buffers, how can I
do that?
Thanks.

I think ibuffer can do that.  It comes with recent Emacsen, if I'm
not mistaken.

C-s can search the current buffer. But I want to search a
string in all my opened buffers and give me a list. How can
I do that?

I checked ibuffer, but it seems not maintained anymore.

Get an older portable stable Ibuffer for Emacs from: 
http://www.shootybangbang.com/ibuffer/ibuffer.el

Don't hestitate to send me bug reports, ideas, rants, shopping lists,
etc. about Ibuffer.  I like getting mail!

The latest and greatest Ibuffer is part of the Emacs development
sources, and has extra features like filter groups.

The multi-occur stuff has been moved into replace.el as independent
functionality in the development version of Emacs.  If you have it
try M-x multi-occur.

It is maintained -- it is part of the development version of Emacs,
at least.  The last change was from 2003-04-26.

igrep.el has `M-x igrep-visited-files'.

M-x multi-occur does what you want, but it's only available in CVS Emacs.

Thank you very much.
The ibuffer package is wonderful.

It seem the newest CVS version can't work with my Emacs
21.2.

I'll stay at you portable version and be happy :)
