The authors review the most recent data from e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} and p{anti p} colliders and discuss the resulting constraints on the parameters of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, and their implications for future supersymmetry searches. They review the patterns of cascade decays of squarks and gluinos, and discuss the present status of supersymmetry event generators for hadron colliders. They present the results of detailed simulations of E{sub T} and same sign dilepton events from supersymmetry at the Tevatron. Although the E{sub T} signal continues to be viable, it is concluded that the same sign dilepton signal may be too small unless squarks and gluinos are approximately degenerate. The E{sub T} and same-sign dilepton signals from supersymmetry and the Standard Model backgrounds at the SSC are also discussed in detail. They also discuss other promising ways of searching for supersymmetry at the SSC including events containing Z{sup 0} bosons, and events containing n isolated leptons (n {ge} 3). Finally, they discuss how supersymmetry searches might be modified if the Higgs sector is more complicated or if R-parity is not conserved due to baryon number violating interactions.
