We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson in final states with a charged lepton (electron or muon), missing transverse energy, and two or three jets, at least one of which is identified as a b-quark jet. The search is primarily sensitive to WH\ensuremath→\ensuremathℓ\ensuremathνbb production and uses data corresponding to 9.7 fb^\ensuremath-1 of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp Collider at √(s)=1.96 TeV. We observe agreement between the data and the expected background. For a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV, we set a 95% C.L. upper limit on the production of a standard model Higgs boson of 5.2\ifmmode×\else\texttimes\fi\ensuremathσSM, where \ensuremathσSM is the standard model Higgs boson production cross section, while the expected limit is 4.7\ifmmode×\else\texttimes\fi\ensuremathσSM.
