It's easy to search for System and System-related files and folders (like the Library folder and it's sub-folders) in OS X Lion and Snow Leopard (and perhaps earlier):
In the Finder press Command-F to open a search window.
From the "Kind" pop-up menu, choose "Other…".
Find "System files" in the list of other file attributes.
Select the "In Menu" checkbox for the "System files" attribute.
Click OK.
From the "aren't included" pop-up menu, choose "are included".
Choose "This Mac" or "All My Files" (doesn't seem to make a difference which)
Enter what you want to look for in the Spotlight window search field.
But I agree. Apple certainly are total unredeemable assholes for making this so hard and we should all throw out our Macs and iPhones in protest.
