Searching for the Higgs boson is one of the main physics aims for the CDF and D0 collaborations at the Tevatron collider and Run II should have the sensitivity to cover much of the parameter space favoured by electroweak fits. The search strategy at the Tevatron is highly constrained by the hadronic physics environment. For all the searches the ability to trigger on the decay of heavy vector bosons and accurate lepton identification are essential. In the case of a light Higgs (mass less then \sim 135 GeV) b-tagging is crucial in order to identify the Higgs. The Tevatron is currently taking data and results are presented from D0 and CDF which highlight the ability to identify the basic elements required for a successful Higgs search.
