Searching multiple mysql tables, JOINS?

I'm creating a mysql keyword search on my website and I know how to search a single mysql table, my problem is I need to search 15 different tables simultaneously, they also all have the same column names. I was told I have to use JOINS or UNION JOIN but i've never used them before. How is this done?

 

 

 

MY SQL SELECT:

 

 

 

SELECT *

 

FROM table1

 

WHERE keyword LIKE %colname% OR id LIKE %colname%
