  We show that the likelihood ratio of Higgs search experiments is a form to
report the experimental results suitable to be combined with the information
from precision measurements to obtain a joint constraint on the Higgs mass. We
update our previous combined analysis using the new results on direct searches
and recent precision measurements, including also the Z0 leptonic partial width
result. The method is also improved to take into account small non linearity
effects in the theoretical formulae. We find an expected value for the Higgs
mass around 160-170 GeV with an expectation uncertainty, quantified by the
standard deviation of the distribution, of about 50-60 GeV. The 95% probability
upper limit comes out to be around 260-290 GeV.
