Is that right? I don't think that is the right UI for this feature. I think the search should fail when it can't find another occurrence in the current buffer. Then if you type C-s again it should go to the next buffer which has an occurrence, and search there. The documentation of `isearch-buffers-next-buffer-function' should clearly state what it means to search multiple buffers. + "The buffer where the search currently stays. The word "stays" is not used in this way in English.
