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: zei'ei'au [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: distributive rafsi-converting quote begin in the sense of "treats as a whole entity (nondistributive, in a sense)"
     selma'o: ZEIhEI
  Definition: begin quote that is converted into rafsi, distributing
       lujvo-glue between quoted words
       Notes: Terminated by zei'oi. Begins a quote of a grammatical
       utterance. Between each word in the utterance, zei is to be
       interpreted and any grouping that might be applied is
       left-grouping. In other words, zei is distributed
       left-groupingly between each word; each word is treated on its
       own, individually; the quote is not treated as a whole. The
       final word is interpreted to have zei after it as well (this
       is a quirk of zei'oi), thus the quote is a string of rafsi,
       left-groupingly considered to be a rafsi. In order to end the
       lujvo formed with such a quote, follow it by co'e. This word
       compactifies large zei-clauses/-statements. For the perhaps
       generally more useful, if slightly more ambiguous, quote marker
       that treats the quote as a whole entity and converts it singly
       and wholly into a rafsi (rather than a rafsi string, as is done
       by this word), see: zei'ei. This word works as zei'ei does
       in all other regards (including as a marker for a new word
       (specifically a lujvo) unless preceded by zei or possibly by
       a standalone and otherwise ungrammatical rafsi). For the
       purpose of quoting with ra'oi, the result of a
       zei'ei'au-quote is treated as a single rafsi.
