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: i'au [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: reset bridi-level to zero
     selma'o: IhAU
  Definition: reset bridi-level to zero
       Notes: Auto-inserts all necessary terminators to reset to the
       top-level bridi of the sentence (i.e. everything that i would
       insert except the last vau). This is useful if you have
       opened multiple NU/NOI subclauses, and just want to close them
       all to add more sumti, terms, or a xoi clause to the main
       bridi without using a bunch of terminators. // May also be used
       with UI-cmavo. UI-cmavo placed immediately after i'au would
       scope over the entire sentence. This is useful for attaching
       attitudinals as afterthoughts, without having to close the
       entire sentence manually with the right number of vaus. See
       ji'au, fu'e, fu'o.
