    > Perhaps the best way to specify a set of buffers to search as a unit

    For those of us unfamiliar with that, could someone please summarize what
    that is and how it would work in this context?

If the buffers to search are file-visiting buffers, you could make a
fileset in the ways described in the Filesets node of the Emacs
Manual, and specify treating it as a buffer search group.  Then, if
you do an isearch in one of the files in that fileset, it would
search them all.
