Simple way to search and replace in all buffers:
:bufdo %s/pattern/substitution/ge | update
bufdo - applies the following command to all buffers.
%s - means search and replace the whole file
g - change all instances in a line
e - avoids the error when the pattern doesn’t exist in a file
update - writes the file only if changes were made
