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: toi'e [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: start UI-applicative metalinguistic UI-parenthetical in the sense of "metalinguistic application of UI to other UI"
     selma'o: TOIhE
  Definition: start UI-applicative metalinguistic UI-parenthetical
       Notes: Presently (without this word), there is no "official" way to
       apply a UI cmavo to another (instead, they merely express
       simultaneous emotions pertaining to the relevant construct).
       This word begins a parenthetical which can contain UI cmavo and
       applies these cmavo as a string of UI to the immediately
       previous UI cmavo metalinguistically (as if the external UI
       is/are any other type of word which can be acted upon by UI).
       An omitted UI (external or internal) in this case is equivalent
       to ge'e. Since the produced parenthetical functions as UI,
       nested or subsequent such parentheticals operate on it as it
       operates on external UI cmavo. For details on grouping and
       application, see koi'e. See also: toi'o.
