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: di'oi [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: discourse-exterior default it in the sense of "selbri-level, permanent"
     selma'o: KOhA7
  Definition: pro-sumti & sumyzmico: discourse-exterior default it
       Notes: Explicitly and emphatically references the specified default
       value of the relevant terbri as given by "official" definitions
       (exterior to the discourse); this value ignores and is
       independent of any modifications made to the relevant default
       specification during the discourse. (zo'e, implicit or
       explicit, may do so as well, but the use of this word implies
       some degree of a more deliberate choice to follow the
       discourse-exterior default specification.) When a default is
       not specified by the definition of a word, this word is
       equivalent to completely general and elliptical zo'e. See
       also: di'au, di'ei, zmico.
