Actually this suggests adding a new global mode isearch-buffers-mode.
When it is active and the global variable isearch-buffers-next-buffer-function
contains a function that return the next buffer from the set of marked
buffers from the buffer list, this could work.  But what to do when
isearch enters a ChangeLog buffer that has a buffer-local value
of isearch-buffers-next-buffer-function?  After leaving this buffer,
isearch will continue to search the next ChangeLog file, not the next
buffer from the buffer list.
