Category search duplicate filters categories

I’ve noticed that category searches are much less useful than they used to be due to duplicated filter categories.
For example, when I search for 12 gauge sxs shotguns and go to filter on manufactures, I get the attached—with duplicates for F Rizzoni and three Ithaca categories (including “Ithica”):

When I search for revolvers and filter by manufacturers, I get the attached—with three entries for NAA, two for Cimarron, two each for EAA and EMF, two for Ruger, and two for S&W:
And when I filter revolvers by chambering I get the attached—with duplicates for 22 mag, 32 ACP, 32 mag and 45 colt:
This wouldn’t be so bad if we could select multiple filters for the same category search, but if I want to look for S&W revolvers in 32 mag I need to run six searches and can’t see all the results at once.
It hasn’t always been like this, and while there was probably a good reason to let sellers list their “Ithica” shotgun for sale, if you go this route you need to let buyers select all the various misspellings and punctuation differences to make these searches useful again.
Alternatively you could require sellers to select manufacturers, chambering and model information from a list and, if not on that list, to select “other”.

That looks like a rabbit with little, tiny front feet. I bet you it would eat a carrot cake.
I like carrot cake.
Regardless, complaints or observations about the auctions should be directed to GB customer service.
