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: premi [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental gismu (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Definition: x1 is the principal/chief/main/boss/primary/premier in
       aspect/organizational principle/role x2 (ka) in
       organization/system x3.
       Notes: This is much like $tervipsi$ except that it does not imply the
       existence of any subordinate/deputy. So the Presidency is an
       office which may fill x2 in this word or vipsi; here it
       produces what is normally called the President (x1) but there,
       it produces the Vice-President. This allows for abbreviations
       such as "(A)(V)P(E)otUS", but brings symmetry between VP and P,
       allowing also for strings with variable characters which allow
       the referent to range over the possibilities (offices) more
       easily (rather than reminding people that a null character is
       possible), such as with "XPotUS", wherein "X" is variable and
       thus the string can refer to the PotUS or the VPotUs (and
       possibly those with "A" concatenated to their fronts).
