I'm going to Europe in mid-may for about a month to visit a friend. It doesn't matter what city I fly into since we're going to be exploring the continent and we can start in any city. Does anyone know of a way to easily find the cheapest flight to any city in Europe without doing a search on each city in Europe? I'm looking to fly out of Orlando, by the way.

There really isn't a way to do what you're asking. You need to check the specifc city pairs to find good choices. The skyscanner site that someone pointed you to is one good choice for all the airlines that fly routes between any two cities though.
Another is the Yahoo site: http://farechase.yahoo.com/
The cheapest place to fly into in Europe is often either London or Amsterdam. I often fly though Amsterdam although I live in Italy because the prices are much better and it's very well connected to the rest of Europe. I saved about $700 flying from Italy through Amsterdam to Zurich and then on to LA last Christmas. The option was just going to Zurich on the tain and then taking the exact same flight to the US.
There are a lot of budget airlines operating in Europe that sometimes are cheaper than the trains. A good source for identifying flights between a given pair of cities is:
http://www.whichbudget.com/en/. There are links to the airline websites that will allow you to check specific schedules and prices and book tickets. You can also use this site for flights to Europe.

budget airlines (be careful, they often don't serve the big airports), but many of them are really cheap
http://www.ryanair.com
http://www.easyjet.com
http://www.skyeurope.com
http://www.airberlin.com
http://www.germanwings.com
this here is a full listing of all cheap airlines, but it is not very user friendly: http://www.etn.nl/lcosteur.htm
From Brussels, you have flight connections to pretty much any capital in Europe. Try http://www.brusselsairlines.com It's a recent merger of SN and Vrigin Express. They tend not to be that expensive.
Please be aware that many cities in europe have excellent (fast) train connections. Between Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam you can take the Thalys, in France there is the TGV and in Germny you have the ICE trains. To go to London from Paris and Brussels, it might also be more comfortable (as in no transfers to airports) to take the Eurostar.

Search for the name of your nearest airport, Europe and cheap tickets. There are several sites that will help you find a cheap ticket, but I do not know which is the easiest to use.
I use google every time I need one.
