It looks like `M-x occur' may be what you want. It will display all the
hits in a separate buffer.
Another nifty aspect is that you can use the hits provided as links to
jump to them in the parent buffer.
If I understood your usage M-x occur will be just the ticket.
If you like this tool... type M-x occur<spc><spc> to see other
formulations of using it.
