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'o'e [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: elliptical selbri conversion
     selma'o: SE
  Definition: elliptical/generic/unspecific/vague selbri conversion
       Notes: Basically says 'in some (id est: at least one)
       ordering/permutation, these arguments and this selbri make
       sense [and I claim the produced sentence]'. The ordering may be
       complicated, or it could even be the case that multiple
       orderings work.  Can be useful for when one does not quite
       remember or care about the exact definition of a brivla,
       including in sumti; can also be useful when the conversion is
       particularly complicated, when a desired terbri has a large
       index, or when multiple conversions are true; it is an allowed,
       if unhelpful, response to se'u'o.
