To improve the quality of results, jbovlaste search does not return words with insufficient votes. To qualify to be returned in search results, a proposed lujvo is required to have received a vote in favor in both directions: for instance, in English to Lojban and in Lojban to English.

In addition, due to it being a very technically hard problem, full text searching (that is, searching of definitions rather than just keywords) is not available at this time.

  Definition: x1 is a grandparent of x2 by bond/tie/relation/standard x3 (not
       necessarily genetic/biological nor necessarily directly
       ancestral); x1 is an associated member of x2's parent(s)'s
       parent(s)'s generation.
       Notes: No prefix "great-"s may immediately precede the English
       translation of this word when the root is
       "grandparent"/"grandchild" or the like (due to slippage of
       clarity in reference to the pertinent generation); furthermore,
       it must refer to that generation (so no additional "great-"s
       may immediately precede the English translation of this word
       when it means "great-uncle"/"great-aunt" or the reciprocal
       relationships, and it cannot refer to uncles, aunts, nieces, or
       nephews). Might apply to great-aunts and great-uncles; it does
       not in any way intersect with the reference set of "famti" in
       a simple family/tree. See also: tcuti, which specifically
       excludes the potential meaning of grandparent/grandchild and
       which specifically includes the meaning of
       aunt/uncle/nephew/niece and higher generational separations too
       (such as great-great-uncle vel sim., unlike this word which is
       restricted to the grandparents' generation); riryrirni (or
       the like), which excludes the potential meaning of
       great-uncle/great-aunt or the reciprocal relationships. See
       also: "dzena" (which is more general and not necessarily
       familial by any given standard).
