you can go to dired, mark the buffers u want, then do a interactive
find/replace operation where the replace string is identical to the
find string.

Basically:

• M-x dired
• type “m” to mark.
• type “Q” to call dired-do-query-replace-regexp.
• give your find string and replace string.
• type “n” to not replace.

So, the above would function like interactive search.

For detail, see:

not sure how to apply this to “visible” buffers... but it is not
difficult to write a elisp... whatever your “visible” buffer might
mean.
