The main reason I've split the user interface is to bound the number of
results.  It is possible do do it like Spotify do and have a single
search box and then return all artists, albums and tracks which match. 
However this can lead to long lists and the way the plugin is written
now it needs to wait for the full list before showing anything (in
contrast spotify show the top of the list and keep adding to it.

So at present if you search for artists it means you want the result to
be a list of artists.  If you do an advanced album search you can
specify e.g:

Code:
--------------------
    artist:coldplay AND album:X&Y
--------------------
 to get a result which takes into account both fields.

See http://www.spotify.com/int/about/features/advanced-search-syntax/
for the syntax.  This should all be accepted in the advanced search
options.
