We have the infrastructure to do this now, it just needs a bit of coding... That would be a useful feature, but it could also be annoying. Suppose you make a typo, so your string is not found in any of the files. It would read and search them all. Here's a slightly different idea. If you type another C-s at a failing search, it goes to the next file in the series.
