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: joi'i [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: concatenation in the sense of "mekso operator; for strings"
     selma'o: VUhU
  Definition: mekso string operator (n-ary): formal right-concatenation; $X_1
       + X_2 + X_3 +...$, where $X_i$ is a
       string/word/text/character/letteral/lerfu/quoted utterance
       (quote appropriately iff necessary; preserve and be careful
       about the use-vs.-mention distinction) for all $i$. 
       Notes: Generally noncommutative. $X_i$ may be referenced by a
       defined/named string-type object/variable; for example: if s =
       'BC', then joihi('A', s) = 'ABC' (and not 'As'). The result is
       a single string written over the alphabet that is the union of
       each of the alphabets of the $X_i$'s. joihi('ABC', 'DEF',
       'GHI') = 'ABC' + 'DEF' + 'GHI'  = 'ABCDEFGHI'. Use SE
       conversion for left-concatenation, depending on exact
       presentation of input strings. See "konkatena".
