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: se'au [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: big operator
  Gloss Word: iteration in the sense of "serial operator"
  Gloss Word: sequence notation
  Gloss Word: serial operator notation
  Gloss Word: series notation
     selma'o: VUhU
  Definition: mathematical quinary operator; big operator: left sequence
       notation/converter - operator a, sequence b defined as a
       function on index/argument/variable/parameter c, in set d,
       under ordering e
       Notes: Produces the left application of the operation/function $a=•$
       on sequence $b(c)$, the terms of which are functions evaluated
       at (possibly dummy) values $c$ (multi-index), where each c
       belongs to set $d$ (at the values of which the function b is
       evaluated), operation $a$ being applied thereto in order $e$
       (rule prescription; specifies order of $c$'s running through d;
       note that the application is from the left). The steps at which
       $c$'s are taken can be specified by $d$ or by taking
       complicated (evaluated) expressions $z(c)$ instead of $c$ as
       arguments of $b$. Notice that $e$ affects both $c$ (or $z(c)$)
       directly as well as $b$ (less directly) by being established on
       $d$.  Output is in the format (for example: scalar, tensor,
       function, etc.) that the operation $a=•$ yields. If $b$ is a
       constant (at least with respect to the arguments $c$ being
       ranged over), then the operator $a$ is taken being applied to
       $b$ for a number of times equal to the cardinality of $d$ (and,
       technically, in the order specified by $e$). If $d$ is
       explicitly created via use of ce'o, then the order is from
       the first term uttered to the last term uttered, as uttered;
       $e$ need not be specified (if it is, it overrides the order of
       utterance). For Sigma/series summation notation (si'i),
       $a=+$, for Pi multiplication notation $a=*$, for functional
       power/iterated composition of functions $a=∘$, for the
       Cartesian product of sets $a=×$ (preferred to "exponentiation
       of sets" notation like $A^n$). mau'au and zai'ai will be
       necessary for the proper use of this word (particularly for
       specifying $a$ and $e$); $e$ will be specified explicitly
       (possibly elsewhere) and/or via zoi'ai. See also: ma'o'e.
