  We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson in final states with
an electron or muon and a hadronically decaying tau lepton in association with
two or more jets using 9.7 fb^{-1} of Run II Fermilab Tevatron Collider data
collected with the D0 detector. The analysis is sensitive to Higgs boson
production via gluon fusion, associated vector boson production, and vector
boson fusion, followed by the Higgs boson decay to tau lepton pairs or to W
boson pairs. The ratios of 95% C.L. upper limits on the cross section times
branching ratio to those predicted by the standard model are obtained for
orthogonal subsamples that are enriched in either H -> tau tau decays or H ->
WW decays, and for the combination of these subsample limits. The observed and
expected limit ratios for the combined subsamples at a Higgs boson mass of 125
GeV are 11.3 and 9.0 respectively.
