The patch I proposed implements exactly the same behavior as
you described.
In that case, it needs more comments in the code
so that people can see this is what it does.

(defvar isearch-buffers-next-buffer-function nil
"Function to call to get the next buffer to search.
When this variable is set to a function that returns a buffer, then
after typing another C-s or C-r at a failing search, the search goes
to the next buffer in the series and continues searching for the next
occurrence. The first argument of this function is the current buffer
where the search is currently searching. It defines the base buffer
relative to which this function should find the next buffer. When the
isearch direction is backward (when isearch-forward is nil), this
function should return the previous buffer to search. If the second
argument of this function WRAP is non-nil, then it should return
the first buffer in the series; and for the backward search, it
should return the last buffer in the series.")
That is clear. Good.
(defvar isearch-buffers-current-buffer nil
"The buffer where the search is currently searching.
The value is nil when the search still is in the initial buffer.")
That is clear too.
Please write up the NEWS text, wait 4 days for other comments and
suggestions, then install it.
