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.

        Word: lai'a [jbovlaste]

  Definition: text scope alphabet specifier.  Sets the alphabet used for
       spelling until changed.
       Notes: Allows specifying which alphabet is assumed when spelling
       across an entire passage.  Used with zai or, e.g. lo'a (the
       etymological inspiration) to make it so that that alphabet is
       the default.  For example, «zai zbalermorna bu lai'a» would
       mean that zbalermorna is assumed for all letters.
