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: ronte [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental gismu (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: rodent in the sense of "order Rodentia and possibly others"
  Definition: x1 is a rodent [can be a member of eutherian mammal Rodentia;
       semantic broadening might subjectively generalize the concept
       somewhat] of subtaxon/type/genus/species/breed/variety x2.
       Notes: (Updated for 2022-11-18: This word is now in conflict with
       "ronti", although this word was created on or around
       2014-06-27 and thus might have precedence; see "raunte").
       This word is the gismu version of: "ratcnrodentia",
       "rontnrodentia". Meant for any rodent in general (more
       general than "ratcu", "smacu"). Semantic broadening may
       allow for any 'small, scurrying mammal' to be so named (such as
       lagomorphs; such description should be avoided in technical
       contexts and is not necessarily disparaging (unlike in
       English)). For the subjective generalization of concept to any
       'small scurrying mammal' made explicit, unambiguous, and clear,
       use: "rontysmimabru".
