Selecting the buffers to be searched is not a problem. I think the *Buffer List* is a good interface to select them. The question is how to start multi-buffer isearch. Imagine that you've marked a list of buffers in the *Buffer List*. How to start multi-buffer isearch now? Should C-s start multi-buffer isearch in marked files, or should C-s still allow searching for the string in the *Buffer List* (this is useful for searching buffer names in the *Buffer List*).
I believe most users would be surprised if C-s started multi-buffer isearch for the marked files. But it is still a good "mnemonic". Maybe ask the user if he/she wants to search the marked files?
