We review recent progress in techniques for searching for the Standard Model light `Intermediate Mass' Higgs Boson (80 \GeV \lsim MH \lsim 140\GeV). We pay particular attention to associated production at the SSC and LHC where we search for the Higgs produced in association with either a W boson or a t quark. This production mode can be detected cleanly when the Higgs decays into two isolated photons, and the associated heavy particle decays semi-leptonically. We discuss the possibility that radiative corrections may significantly enhance the W γγ background, decreasing the significance of the WH signal. Based upon a Plenary talk given at the SSC Symposium, Madison, March 1993.
