In Icicles, you do C-u 1 C-c ` and then either pick the buffers you want
(using C-mouse-2) or hit C-! to search them all.
C-c ` is `icicle-search'. A positive numeric prefix arg tells it to search
multiple buffers. C-! acts on all buffers whose names match your input. If
you type nothing, then it acts on all open buffers.
