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: goilka'i [jbovlaste]
        Type: fu'ivla
  Gloss Word: variable in the sense of "algorithmic / programming"
  Definition: x1 (text / virtual-text-object) is a variable representing x2
       Notes: goi is a special case that makes, e.g. zo ko'a, a
       goilka'i of something. However the main use of this brivla is
       to allow ko'a itself, or something like la .strin., to be a
       virtual "text" standing in for some object, while la'e is
       used to extract the referent from it. This allows propositions
       to be truth-conditional on what a variable represents at that
       point of time, rather than conditional on the referent itself.
       See sumka'i, goilgau, goilbi'o, krati.
