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: lai'e [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: named reference
     selma'o: LAhE
  Definition: Named reference. It converts a sumti into another sumti. The
       converted sumti points to the referent the name of which is the
       referent of the unconverted sumti.
       Notes: ``lai'e ko'a''=``zo'e noi se cmene ko'a''. lai'e is a cmavo
       of LAhE, and followed by any sumti including ``lo se du'u
       BRIDI'', ``zo...'', ``lu...li'u'', ``lo'u...le'u'' or
       ``zoi...'', used with an elidable terminater lu'u. For
       example, ``lai'e lo se du'u ti brife doi la betis'' refers to
       something the name of which is a text in a language that means
       ``ti brife doi la betis'', while ``la'e lo se du'u ti brife doi
       la betis'' refers to the same as ``lo du'u ti brife doi la
       betis''. The syntax of sumti following lai'e is analysed by
       the parser, while the syntax of strings following la'ai or
       la'o is ignored. In the cases that lai'e is followed by
       lu, lo'u or zoi, the referent is the same as that of
       sumti formed by la'au, la'ai or la'o respectively:
       ``lai'e lu ti brife doi la betis li'u (lu'u)''=``la'au ti brife
       doi la betis li'u''; ``lai'e lo'u se ly van beti le'u
       (lu'u)''=``la'ai se ly van beti le'u''; ``lai'e zoi zoi C'est
       le vent, Betty zoi (lu'u)''=``la'o zoi C'est le vent, Betty
       zoi''. See also la'e, la, la'o, la'ai, la'au; lu'u;
       cmene.
