I don't see how this could be considered "correct": the "Operation
finished" message is supposed to be shown only after the Isearch is
finished in all the marked buffer, not before.  It looks like we need
a function that will not return until all the buffers where searched,
because that's what define-ibuffer-op expects.  Don't you agree?
