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: ce'oi [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: argument list separator
     selma'o: JOI
  Definition: argument list separator: acts as a comma between arguments in
       an argument list supplied to a function.
       Notes: "ce'oi" is the word of choice to separate the arguments in
       $bridi_3$. Using ce'o there has obvious limitations when the
       selbri actually calls for a sequence. Obviously, ce'oi has
       issues too if the selbri can accept an argument list, but this
       can be circumvented more readily with ke...ke'e brackets
       than it can with ce'o. Consider ".i lo ka broda cu selbri fi
       ko'a ce'o ko'e". Without inspecting the type requirements of
       broda and the respective types of ko'a and ko'e, one
       cannot determine the meaning of the bridi. Furthermore, if
       one accepts non-static typing of sumti places, multiple
       correct answers can be given for a question asking what is the
       $bridi_1$. This would create ambiguity that is otherwise
       resolved by "ce'oi". See also ka, du'u, me'au
