I think you want to remove the single quotes around the field names.
SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE (field_1 LIKE '%$keyword%' OR
field_2 LIKE '%$keyword%' OR field_3 LIKE '%$keyword%') AND
status = 'active';
I STFW and RTFM and I still can't figure out why this returns a 1064
parse error:
The parenthesis are OK. The query might take a long time to run with 3 LIKE
statements.
Backticks, single quotes, or nothing at all makes no difference. I
believe the parsing error is due to my parentheses or AND/OR structure.
Any thoughts on that?

How are you manipulating the whole SQL string??
$sql = SELECT...; ???
or
$sql = 'SELECT...'; ???
In this case you will have to use double quotes because PHP won't parse
single quote strings for searching embedded PHP variables.
May be this is the problem.
