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: pecai [jbovlaste]
        Type: cmavo-compound
  Gloss Word: permanently associated with
     selma'o: GOI*
  Definition: restrictive relative phrase marker: permanently / inalienably
       associated with; it is impossible or near-impossible to break
       that relation
       Notes: Proposed as a variation of po'e with less semantic-boundary
       difficulties, while freeing up po'e for reassignment in
       dialects/forks. Most words that the concept of 'inalienable
       possession' applies to, e.g. birka, mamta, or even pendo
       in some natlangs, have a convenient be place to be used
       instead with a better-defined meaning. However, this may be
       used for any relation that is impossible-or-nigh-impossible to
       break, e.g. the car you worked on and made custom modifications
       to for years; in a sense, it will still be "your car" even if
       you sold it. do'ecai could be a variation to associate a
       bridi or the subject of the bridi, e.g. 'ti karce do'ecai mi'.
