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: co'au'a [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: restart in the sense of "event contour"
  Gloss Word: renew in the sense of "restart; event contour"
     selma'o: ZAhO
  Definition: interval event contour: at the restarting/renewal point of...
       Notes: The event is being considered somewhat/approximately cyclic in
       nature on the large scale; the point in question is an end
       point for one version of going through the cycle once and the
       point at which the next version begins. The previous cycle need
       not have reached or exceeded its natural completion/conclusion.
       This word is useful for when a player restarts a level in a
       game - the choices made within the level may not be exactly the
       same, but much of it nonetheless is extremely similar between
       attempts. "Redouble" may have this meaning. Use this word when
       one is not at the true (last) end of an event, nor its true
       (first) beginning, yet is at an end and a begin.
