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: terjonle'u [jbovlaste]
        Type: lujvo
  Gloss Word: hyphen letter in the sense of "joins words/morphemes/particles into a single cohesive, grammatical unit"
  Gloss Word: hyphen letteral in the sense of "joins words/morphemes/particles into a single cohesive, grammatical unit"
  Gloss Word: hyphen
  Definition: x1 (letteral: la'e zo BY/word-bu) is a hyphen/joining
       letter(al) in language x2 with function in/context of use/with
       rules for use/with properties x3, joining prefixed
       unit/lexeme/morpheme/string x4 (quote) to postfixed
       unit/lexeme/morpheme/string x5 (quote) in construct (full word)
       x6 (quote)
       Notes: x1 joins words/morphemes/particles into a single cohesive,
       semantic or grammatical unit while also separating and
       distinguishing them into recognizable parts or functions. x4
       and x5 may be improper quotes. In English, "-" is such a hyphen
       letteral; in Lojban, .ybu, ry, ny, and ly are such
       hyphen letterals (arguably, as is y'y). The fact that the
       letteral is used to join words/morphemes is implicit and this
       function therefore need not be specified in x3 in most cases.
