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.

From Lojban to English :

        Word: cau'o'e [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: elliptical scalar assertion
     selma'o: NAhE
  Definition: elliptical/vague/indecisive scalar affirmer/negator; true
       neutral/non-committed/uninvolved scalar truthfulness/assertion.
       Notes: Useful for when the truthfulness or falseness of a bridi is
       undesirable (the speaker makes no firm stance or assumption on
       the matter). Different from "no'e" in that it does not
       necessarily select a neutral value on a scale; it merely
       acknowledges that some value on the scale could be chosen/that
       the scale exists, but does not choose one (it is hands-off). If
       one does not want to accuse someone of being or doing
       something, but wants to talk about it, this word would be used;
       often can be used for "are or are not". It does not necessarily
       imply uncertainty or leading/implicit or rhetorical
       device/assertion/assumption/question.
