We consider the search for the Higgs boson at a high-luminosity Fermilab Tevatron ([radical][ital s] =2 TeV), an upgraded Tevatron of energy [radical][ital s] =3.5 TeV, and the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC, [radical][ital s] =14 TeV), via [ital WH]/[ital ZH] production followed by [ital H][r arrow][ital b[bar b]] and leptonic decay of the weak vector bosons. We show that each of these colliders can potentially observe the standard Higgs boson in the intermediate-mass range 80 GeV[lt][ital m][sub [ital H]][lt]120 GeV. This mode complements the search for and the study of the intermediate-mass Higgs boson via [ital H][r arrow][gamma][gamma] at the LHC. In addition, it can potentially be used to observe the lightest Higgs scalar of the minimal supersymmetric model, [ital h], in a region of parameter space not accessible to CERN LEP II or the LHC (using [ital h][r arrow][gamma][gamma],[ital ZZ][sup *]).
