Thank you for your feedback. Feel free to post bug reports
about misearch.el to address@hidden if you want
to track the bug fixing progress ;-)

Yes, there is also multi-file query-replace. It can be started
from Dired by marking files and typing `Q'.

Yes, this should be easy to fix. I will do that.

Good idea! I'll try to implement this.

Could you please try with different values of `multi-isearch-pause'.
You can customize it to: "Don't pause", "Only in initial buffer"
or "All buffers".
