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: kau'a [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: eidetic da in the sense of "pro-sumti"
  Gloss Word: elephant thing1 in the sense of "pro-sumti"
  Gloss Word: strong-memory something1 in the sense of "pro-sumti"
     selma'o: KOhA1
  Definition: pro-sumti: strong-memory something1/eidetic da/elephant thing1
       (logically quantified existential, arbitrarily-long-scope
       pro-sumti)
       Notes: The meaning is the same as da and it functions the same way
       except that any assignment/qualification placed upon it (except
       for quantification) is semantically retained throughout a
       discourse until da'o is uttered; it acts as though the scope
       (except for quantification that occurs outside of a POI-clause)
       of all previous usages are arbitrarily long, terminated only by
       da'o or the end of the discourse. User beware: usage is
       tricky. See also: kau'e, kau'i, da'au, da.
