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.

       Notes: Used for ji and other connective questions.  It is preceded
       by such a connective (question) word and is followed by the set
       of words or the selma'o name to which the answer is
       expected/required to belong; the former may be literally a list
       of cmavo (such as 'zo .e ce zo .a', meaning that only AND
       or AND-OR are acceptable responses) or the name of a set of
       them (such as 'non-logical connectives', 'tanru after-thought
       connectives', 'symmetric connectives', 'all connectives except
       .u'. etc.). Terminated by ge'u'i. For example 'do djica
       tu'a loi ckafi ji noi'i lu .enai li'u ce lu na .e li'u ge'u'i
       loi tcati' asks 'Do you want: some coffee, some tea - where
       your answer can be only the former or the latter?'.
