/* ---------- "Multi-Buffer search?" ---------- */

Within gnu emacs, is there a simple way to search for a string across
*all* buffers currently loaded?  I have looked with reasonable
diligence through TFM and see no reference to such a function.  If
there is no standard way to do this, has anyone written a function to
perform this type of search?  Thanks in advance for any help with this
question.

How 'bout GNU grep?  (sorry, I couldn't resist!  Sounds like a good
idea though ...)
