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: jaursfeblo [jbovlaste]
        Type: lujvo
  Gloss Word: boat in the sense of "floats on aquatic surface"
  Definition: x1 is an aquatic boat/ship/vessel for carrying x2, propelled by
       x3.
       Notes: This is a vessel which floats on the surface of a sufficiently
       large body of water. bloti is too vague/general for this
       specific sense (for example, a spaceship (kesyblo) is
       arguably also a bloti, even though it is nothing like a
       jaursfeblo in its actual mechanics). liksfeblo is more
       general (not designed only for water surfaces); flublo is
       more general still, possibly encompassing airplanes, hot-air
       balloons, etc. Use jirblo for
       submarines/submersibles/U-boats/etc. (for any liquid).
