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: fi'ikca [jbovlaste]
        Type: fu'ivla
  Gloss Word: fika in the sense of "coffee break"
  Definition: x1 takes a fika [social institution]/coffee break together with
       x2 consuming food/beverage x3.
       Notes: From the swedish word "fika". Both "fika" and "fi'ikca" are
       also derived from the word for coffee in respectively language
       (kaffi respectively ckafi). fi'ikca describes the event where
       you socialize with others, perhaps over a cup of coffee.  In a
       swedish context x2 might often be friends or fellow workers,
       and x3 usually is coffee/squash/(tea) together with a cinnamon
       roll, cookie, cake, a sandwich etc. But fi'ikca could also be
       used in a more universal, cultural neutral sense. See also
       coffeehouse/coffee bar (=kafybarja), making coffee
       (=kafpra).

From Lojban to Swedish :

        Word: fi'ikca [jbovlaste]
        Type: fu'ivla
  Gloss Word: fika in the sense of "social institution"
  Definition: x1 tar en fika [social institution] tillsammans med x2
       konsumerande fika (dryck/mat) x3.
       Notes: Från svenskans ord "fika". Både det svenska och lojbanska ordet
       är dessutom avledda från ordet för kaffe på respektive språk
       (kaffi (ursprunglig svensk stavning) respektive ckafi).
       fi'ikca beskriver framförallt skeendet att några träffas för
       att få ett socialt utbyte, exv över en kopp kaffe. I en svensk
       kontext syftar x2 oftast på vänner eller arbetskamrater, och x3
       är oftast kaffe/saft/(te) tillsammans med bulle, kaka, smörgås
       etc. Men fi'ikca skulle kunna användas även i andra sammanhang
       av icke-svenska lojban entusiaster.
  Place Keywords:
    1. fika in the sense of "social institution"
    2. fikakamrat
    3. fika in the sense of "måltid"
