I have some albums that have various artists on them. If I search by album
name I can find the album. If I search by song name, I can find the song.
But, since I have filed it as Various Artists, I can't search for the
individual artists. How can I make it so I can find the album, the songs and
the individual artists without making a seperate album file for each artist
on the album.

Do you have the Track Artist data set? The "Various Artists" tag should
only be an Album Artist setting.

You can right-click on the "Library" node in the player's Library pane and
choose "Select More Views" to directly expose a Contributing Artists browse
view. I use that a lot. =)
