Hi Alan, XEmacs has
 list-matches-in-buffers
in search=buffers.el, which is part of the edit-utils package.

Emacs has simpilar extentions I seem to recall reading about in the
emacswiki.

Heck, the emacswiki isn't that far away, so here is the reference:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/SearchBuffers

In general I have to agree though, that novices should be given too
much rather than too little information to start with.

Experts can easily write something up to not see all the old NEWS.
