  A search for the Higgs boson produced in association with a W or Z boson and
decaying to bottom quarks is presented. A sample of approximately 24/fb of data
recorded by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, operating at
center-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV in 2011 and 2012, respectively, is
used to search for events consistent with the signature of two b jets recoiling
with high momentum from a W(lnu), Z(ll), or Z(nunu) decay, where l = electron
or muon (or hadronically-decaying tau particle in the case of W bosons).
Observed signal significance and 95% confidence level upper limits on the
production cross section relative to the Standard Model prediction are
presented for the 110-135 GeV Higgs mass range.
