I usually do this semi-manually with something like

:windo /pattern

to jump to the next match in each window or

:windo g/pattern/#

to list all the matching lines in all of the windows

Because 'hls' is a global option, if you have it enabled, it should
highlight things in the rest of the windows too, not just the current
one.
