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: cra'arna [jbovlaste]
        Type: fu'ivla
  Gloss Word: aim in the sense of "direction toward which something points"
  Gloss Word: face in the sense of "direction/orientation"
  Gloss Word: orientation in the sense of "direction being faced"
  Definition: x1 is such that its directed axis or primary 'face' is
       oriented/faces/aimed in the direction of/toward point x2
       according to convention x3
       Notes: x3 determines what is the axis that is being implicitly
       considered and what its direction is; for example, if x1 is an
       actually-oriented circular loop then a convention x3 which
       specifies that the line through its center which does not
       intersect the loop as the axis and the right-hand rule as
       providing the direction will determine x2. x2 is not a
       direction but any point in such a direction, so no frame of
       reference is necessary (the statement holds equally true in all
       frames of reference, even if the labels are different). See
       also: farka.
