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: eikse [jbovlaste]
        Type: fu'ivla
  Gloss Word: ex-
  Gloss Word: former in the sense of "past but not current"
  Definition: x1 is a former/previously was but no longer is/used to be (a)
       x2 as of time x3 according to standard x4; x1 is an ex-x2.
       Notes: x2 should be a role or possession of a property; unless x1 is
       an or could be an event, it should not be one either (more
       generally, they have to match type in a sense). x4 is the
       standard by which x2 both was claimed (to have been) and is now
       no longer claimed (to be); cessation of the state of being an
       example of an x2 must have occurred in the past and must still
       (in the present) not apply. It may be regained in the future,
       but this case is not considered, under normal circumstances, to
       be resumptive: the state was done/terminated (but not
       necessarily finished) and then may be started anew. See also:
       ".uaigri".
