Weird search result numbers

Searches not displaying every product related to my request.

The search in question for "sheet music" it says there is 18,000 used items and over 1,000+ not specified in "all categories" but when option is selected to only used & unspecified, it then only displays 1,200+ and not all current "new listings" for either of these.....they can only be seen if you also keep the "new" in the setting which displays 25,000+ listings and that then means longer scrolling time to find all new USED listings.

The Sheet Music category uses different item condition specifications than other categories; that may be why you are seeing few "used" results.

Tried that at least pre-setting all the levels of "used conditions" under sheet music first then allows  ebay to then display every used one when looking under "all categories".

Many thanks.
