I think that is enough. There is no option to disable it. There is only one option that specifies where to pause the search. Let's rename that variable to isearch-multi-buffers, and make nil mean don't search other buffers. The value t could mean don't pause, and the value `pause' could mean "All buffers". I think this is more convenient than having two separate options. There are two places where this indication can be added: in the mode line as a minor mode "lighter" string, or/and as the prefix/suffix of the isearch message, e.g.: Yes, but my question is WHEN to display this. All the time when the feature is enabled? Only while searching? I-search: search_string [Repeat for next buffer] "[Repeat for next buffer]" seems rather long; often it will not fit in the line, and making the minibuffer grow a line would be a pain.
