You can use a database query against sqlite_master to find all the FTS tables:

http://sf-trees.datasettes.com/trees-b64f0cb?sql=select+name+from+sqlite_master+where+name+like+%22%25_fts%22+and+type+%3D+%22table%22

select name from sqlite_master where name like "%_fts" and type = "table"

You could then construct a crafty UNION query to get results back from all of those tables at once:

http://sf-trees.datasettes.com/trees-b64f0cb?sql=select+%27PlantType_value_fts%27%2C+rowid%2C+value+from+PlantType_value_fts+where+PlantType_value_fts+match+%3Asearch%0D%0A++union%0D%0Aselect+%27qCareAssistant_value_fts%27%2C+rowid%2C+value+from+qCareAssistant_value_fts+where+qCareAssistant_value_fts+match+%3Asearch%0D%0A++union%0D%0Aselect+%27qCaretaker_value_fts%27%2C+rowid%2C+value+from+qCaretaker_value_fts+where+qCaretaker_value_fts+match+%3Asearch%0D%0A++union%0D%0Aselect+%27qLegalStatus_value_fts%27%2C+rowid%2C+value+from+qLegalStatus_value_fts+where+qLegalStatus_value_fts+match+%3Asearch%0D%0A++union%0D%0Aselect+%27qSiteInfo_value_fts%27%2C+rowid%2C+value+from+qSiteInfo_value_fts+where+qSiteInfo_value_fts+match+%3Asearch%0D%0A++union%0D%0Aselect+%27qSpecies_value_fts%27%2C+rowid%2C+value+from+qSpecies_value_fts+where+qSpecies_value_fts+match+%3Asearch&search=fi%2A

(I'm searching for fi* here to demonstrate wildcards)

The problem, as discussed earlier, is relevance: there's no way to compare the scores you're getting across different tables, so you won't be able to order by anything.

Uh oh!
