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: na'au [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: the evaluated result of mex expression
     selma'o: LI
  Definition: converts an unevaluated mekso expression into a sumti
       referencing its evaluated result (if sensible/defined)
       Notes: For example, would be prefixed to ke'a in xe'au-NOIhA
       clauses in order to reference the bracketed (unevaluated,
       formal) subexpression's evaluated result. In some sense, this
       word plays inverse of/to me'o, but may see less general use
       since expressions are typically evaluated at the end of mekso
       utterances. (Thus, this word may find its greatest amount of
       usage within mekso expressions before they are concluded and
       evaluated.)
