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: ri'au [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: next sumti
     selma'o: KOhA5
  Definition: pro-sumti: the next/immediately following sumti (as determined
       by back-counting rules applied forward)
       Notes: Mostly stylistic in use, although certain word orders may help
       the audience understand what is being said more easily and thus
       this word can be more desired. Works basically the same as ri
       but counts forward; if this word were replaced by the referent
       sumti (the next sumti) and the next sumti were replaced by
       ri, the meaning of the utterance would not change at all.
