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: praperi [jbovlaste]
        Type: fu'ivla
  Gloss Word: proper substructure
  Gloss Word: strictly-sub-structure
  Gloss Word: strict substructure
  Definition: x1 is a strict/proper sub-x2 [structure] in/of x3; x2 is a
       structure and x1 and x3 are both examples of that structure x2
       such that x1 is entirely contained within x3 (where containment
       is defined according to the standard/characteristics/definition
       of x2; but in any case, no member/part/element that belongs to
       x1 does not also belong to x3), but there is some
       member/part/element of x3 that does not belong to x1 in the
       same way.
       Notes: If x2 is a (sub)set, then x1 is a proper subset of x3; if x2 is
       a mathematical/algebraic (sub)group, then x1 is a proper
       subgroup of x3; etc. Can also be used for describing proper
       sub-lakes (such as Lake Michigan), proper super-selma'o, and
       other non-mathmetical usages. x3 is a proper super-x2 of/with
       x1. Biological taxa, if comparable, are usually/hypothetically
       proper. See also: klesi, enklesi, cletu, cmeta.
