Would it be possible for ebay to include country of origin in searches so some can be filtered out?

As a consequence of China's behaviour, I don't want to buy anything from China. Could there be some filter incorporated stating country of origin?

not possible,

the search criteria is for ITEM location

sellers who have a UK distribution point can state UK as the item location as the item is sent there first and then to the buyer

if you wish to avoid buying from these sellers you need to check the seller location before you buy,

to see the seller location go to their feedback profile page by clicking on the number in brackets next to their ID,

you should be looking at a sellers feedback profile before you buy anything, as that is what feedback is for, to be read before purchase so that you can decide whether you want to buy from that person.

but bear in mind most items sold in the UK today originated overseas as we don't have a manufacturing industry any more!

I have had a classic today. 

Read the listing. 

Item located in UK. 

Check seller detail. CHINA. 

Read posting detail to find item will be shipped from Spain. 

No I didn't order.

I doubt it very much. Go into any shop in the Country and they will all have something Made In China, so putting on ebay Country of Registration of the seller, Location of the Item and Country of Origin would be going too far.
