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: snafu'ivla [jbovlaste]

  Definition: x1 is an onomatopoeic word meaning x2 in language x3, based on
       sound x4 emitted by x5
       Notes: Syn. sa'ei zei valsi, onmatopo'eia. Note: do not be
       confused by the similarity to fu'ivla; snafu'ivla does not
