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: la'e'au [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: grammar-specified referent
     selma'o: LAhE
  Definition: the specific referent of [following sumti] defined/specified by
       the grammar
       Notes: The grammar in question can itself be specified by
       metalinguistic tags that apply to the utterance; if not
       explicitly specified, then a cultural assumption/default is
       applied. This word is useful for distinguishing between, for
       example, differentiating between something that the speaker
       happens to call "PEMDAS" and the order of operations PEMDAS
       (which, presumably, could be included in the grammar as a
       special word that influences mekso interpretation); likewise
       for a font that happens to be called ".mekrot." ("math
       blackboard bold") and the one that definitely refers to the set
       of characters used for, among other purposes, set notation.
