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: zoi'ai [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: non-mekso quote
  Gloss Word: prescription quote substitution
     selma'o: ZOIhAI
  Definition: non-mekso quote/name substitution for ordered collection of
       prescriptions, descriptions, definitions, etc.
       Notes: Delimited non-math/non-mekso quote (works like zoi in this
       respect). Treats the quote as a substitute for some formal
       collection of rules or mathematical
       description/definitions/notations; the exact meaning of the
       quote must be inferred as is the case with la or any quote;
       the quote is treated as a single block of text representative a
       single entity so described in only that case/context by the
       utterer; can be used to clarify the interpretation of text
       (convention specification; text need not be mathematical (in
       which case, it must be used in a meta-linguistic scope)) or as
       an operand of certain mathematical operators (or, more
       generally perhaps, bridi). Might be useful for quoting names
       as descriptors for arguments of operands. For example:
       orderings, metrics, bases, densities, analytic properties,
       conventions, etc. can all be more easily described by a moniker
       than by a formal mathematical description. See also: ju'au,
       se'au, mau'au.
