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: gi'ei [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: afterthought abstraction wrapper
     selma'o: GIhEI
  Definition: afterthought abstraction wrapper
       Notes: Accepts 'gi'ei LE NU', 'gi'ei NU' (elided LE defaults to lo),
       or 'gi'ei LOhOI'. Wraps the bridi before it within an
       abstraction. e.g. 'mi klama le zarci gi'ei-le-nu cabna lo nu do
       klama' = 'le nu mi klama le zarci cu cabna lo nu do klama'.
       Also see xoi, jai'i. Grammar note: The gi'ei-group acts
       like a specialized vau, grabbing a single bridi. If you are
       in a sub-bridi of the bridi you wish to convert, you need to
       close the sub-bridi with vau, or use i'au to return to the
       top bridi of the sentence.
