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: zi'oi [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: delete all unfilled sumti slots
  Gloss Word: delete all unused sumti slots
  Gloss Word: nonexistent terbri deletion
     selma'o: ZIhOI
  Definition: fills and deletes (in the manner as "zi'o") all terbri sumti
       slots of immediately previous (id est: tagged) word that are
       not explicitly filled with a sumti.
       Notes: Implicit/omitted "zo'e" will be deleted; explicit "zo'e" will
       not be deleted.  Deletion is only meaningful if the immediately
       previous word is a brivla (or other predicate object, including
       math functions) with at least one unfilled (explicitly) terbri.
       In a tanru or other complicated construct, only the most recent
       word undergoes this terbri deletion (not every term in the
       construct). A selbri converted to a sumti by gadri has the 'x1'
       terbri/sumti slot filled for the purposes of this word;
       likewise is the case for terbri accessed by "be" or "bei";
       seltau in the main level of a sumti are filled by the gadri as
       well for the purposes of this word. For technical reasons, SE
       binds to the tagged word with greater priority than this word
       does, meaning that SE conversion is performed first; otherwise,
       the tagging/application behaves largely as it does for UI. See:
       "zi'o", "zi'oi'oi". Note that even skipped over sumti slots
       get deleted by this word, which is the critical distinction
       between this word and "zi'oi'oi". For open-ended or
       arbitarily-large-terbri brivla, take care, for the
       arbitrarily-/infinitely-long tail of sumti slots gets deleted
       when such words are tagged by this one, unless they are somehow
       explicitly filled otherwise.
