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: nonexistent terbri deletion
     selma'o: ZIhOI
  Definition: fills and deletes (in the manner as zi'o) all terbri of
       immediately previous word that are not explicitly filled with a
       sumti
       Notes: Implicit/omitted zo'e will be deleted.  Deletion is only
       meaningful if the immediately previous word is a brivla 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 x1 terbri 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.
