Vous avez besoin de trois SELECT distincts (et probablement d'une recherche générique) :
SELECT *
FROM tbl_books
WHERE title LIKE '%law%'
LIMIT 0,30
SELECT *
FROM tbl_books_author
WHERE title LIKE '%law%'
LIMIT 0,30
SELECT *
FROM tbl_books_subject
WHERE title LIKE '%law%'
LIMIT 0,30
Si vous renvoyez des résultats compatibles, vous pouvez les UNION :
SELECT 'book ', title
FROM tbl_books
WHERE title LIKE '%law%'
UNION ALL
SELECT 'author ', author
FROM tbl_books_author
WHERE title LIKE '%law%'
UNION ALL
SELECT 'subject', subject
FROM tbl_books_subject
WHERE title LIKE '%law%'
LIMIT 0,30
