In Icicles, you do C-u 1 C-c ` and then either pick the buffers you want (using C-mouse-2) or hit C-! to search them all. C-c ` is `icicle-search'. A positive numeric prefix arg tells it to search multiple buffers. C-! acts on all buffers whose names match your input. If you type nothing, then it acts on all open buffers. http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/Icicles_-_Search_Commands%2c_Overview# SearchMultipleBuffersFilesAndRegions
