As far as I know, the only way to do it is
M-x multi-occur-in-matching-buffers RET . RET your-search-string RET
which is not only awkward, but I swear sometimes it's failed to find
hits that I know where present.
A more reliable, but even more awkward way, is
M-x ibuffer RET * * RET t O your-search-string RET
