Plus there are buyers and sellers that don't want to sub-categorize everything. There are those sellers who would say, I want my items listed together to give me more exposure, and buyers who would say, I don't want to search through 19 different areas just to see all of the trumpet related items.

If that isn't enough, this is the BIG reason why it will never happen.
All one has to do is modify your search. You can even save these searches (Favorite searches) so one doesn't have to go through all the trouble of creating a custom search everytime. With advanced search functions such as * , and - , there is no reason to wade through all of the unwanted items. Just make the search relevant to what you want. You already have the tools necessary to do what you want. All you have to do is learn how to use them fully.
