Use the Salesforce Object Search Language (SOSL) to search your organization’s Salesforce data for specific information. WithSOSL, you can search all objects—including custom objects—that you have access to in a single query.
SOSL allows you to specify the following for source objects:
-text expression
-scope of fields to search
-list of objects and fields to retrieve
-conditions for selecting rows in the source objects
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.soql_sosl.meta/soql_sosl/sforce_api_calls_sosl_about.htm

Please try below code. I hope that will help you 
public class ContactAndLeadSearch{

    public static List<List< SObject>> searchContactsAndLeads(String first)
    {
         List<List<sObject>> searchList=[FIND 'Smith' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Lead(FirstName,LastName),Contact(FirstName,LastName)];
            return searchList;
     }
}
Please let us know if this will help you
