I am writing a PHP/MySQL program and I would like to know how to search across multiple tables using MySQL.
Basically, I have a search box as in the top right of most sites, and when user's search something in that box, it needs to search in users.username, users.profile_text, uploads.title, uploads.description, sets.description and comments.text. I need to get the ID (stored in a id field in each table) and if possible, a google like excerpt.
