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: torxesu [jbovlaste]
        Type: fu'ivla
  Gloss Word: torus in the sense of "mathematically focused"
  Definition: x1 is a torus of genus x2 (li; nonnegative integer), having x3
       (li; nonnegative integer) distinct cusps, and with other
       properties/characteristics x4, by standard/in sense x5; x1 is
       an x2-fold torus.
       Notes: The contextless default for x3 is probably 0. A coffee mug is a
       1-fold torus by the standard of topology but not by the
       standard of geometry. x2 can be only a nonnegative integer or
       some sort of infinity. See also: cukydjine, where the
       material properties and realization of the (physical) object
       matter. $x_2 = 0, x_3 = 1$ means that x1 is a horn(ed) torus
       (the cross-section with the two circles has them intersecting
       at exactly 1 point); $x_0 = 1, x_3 = 2$ means that x1 is a
       spindle torus (the cross-section with the two circles has them
       intersecting at exactly 2 points); $x_2 = 0, x_3 =$ ro means
       that x1 is a sphere (the cross-section with the two circles has
       them intersecting at all of their points (which also is
       uncountably infinitely many) so that they are mutually
       indistinguishable); $x_2 = 1, x_3 = 0$ means that x1 is a
       standard/basic torus (the cross-section with the two circles
       has them intersecting at exactly 0 points; the result is a
       classic 'donut' shape).
