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: ke'e'u [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: lock reverse tanru order
     selma'o: KEhEhU
  Definition: Locks tanru modification order reversal (does not affect
       lujvo). ke'e'unai restores regular order
       Notes: Makes all tanru in the following text
       "selskiski"/"military-style": i.e. tertau come *before*
       seltau. This essentially puts ke'oi before every tanru. //
       This is an experimental cmavo in the truest sense of the word,
       used to test out "what if" Lojban chose "noun-adjective" 
       order, which does have several advantages (chief of them being
       that the selbri-unit that describes the subject is uttered
       first), despite being unusual for English speakers.
