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: paulcna [jbovlaste]
        Type: fu'ivla
  Gloss Word: Dirac-Pauli charge in the sense of "intrinsic spin of quantum particle; physics"
  Gloss Word: intrinsic spin in the sense of "of quantum particle; physics"
  Gloss Word: spin in the sense of "intrinsic to quantum particle; physics"
  Definition: x1 [signed quantity] is the the intrinsic spin/signed spin
       quantum number/magnetic quantum number/Dirac-Pauli spin-like
       charge [commonly denoted: $s$] of particle/thing x2, as
       measured along axis/in direction/measuring component x3
       Notes: Contextless default for x3 is probably along the z-axis in the
       positive direction or any axis at all. For an electron, this
       quantity has absolute value of hbar/2 [the Lojban ignores the
       technical issue in English of "spin" versus "spin quantum
       number"]. Pay attention to the fact that plankexu is defined
       as equalling hbar/2, not just hbar. See also: plankexu.
