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: fru'austumu [jbovlaste]
        Type: fu'ivla
  Gloss Word: frustum
  Definition: x1 is a frustum/cone/cylinder/pyramid made of material x2 with
       larger base x3 and at-most-as-large base x4, with other
       characteristics x5.
       Notes: x4 cannot be larger in hyperarea than x3. A cone and a pyramid
       are degenerate frusta with exactly one base (x4) being exactly
       a point (the apex); a line segment is a doubly-degenerate
       frustum with x3 (and therefore x4) being a point. The bases
       should typically be approximately parallel to one another; they
       need not be perpendicular to their axis. Except possibly when
       at least one base is a point, they will be (apprpximately)
       geometrically similar to one another (having the same
       cross-section along parallel planes wrt the axis, modulo
       scale/size, which will nonetheless be multiplied by a uniform
       factor in all 'dimensions'). A round base will produce,
       approximately, a circular cone or a (circular) cylinder.
