Simple way to search and replace in all buffers:
:bufdo %s/pattern/substitution/ge | update
bufdo – apply the following command to all buffers – see :help :bufdo.
%s – search and replace the whole file
g – change all instances in a line
e – avoid an error when the pattern doesn’t exist in a buffer
update – write the file only if changes were made
