A Flavour Independent Search for the Higgsstrahlung Process                    
in e+e- Collisions                                                             
  
With certain choices of the parameters in models such as the                   
two Higgs field doublets models (2HDM),                                        
the decay of the CP even Higgs boson into bb and tau+tau-.                     
which are dominating in the Standard Model, are suppressed.                    
Searches have been performed using the data taken by the                       
OPAL detector at LEP for the Higgsstrahlung process                            
assuming hadronic decays of the Higgs but not assuming the                     
flavour composition.  The results are used to set limit on                     
the cross-section of the Higgsstahlung process as functions                    
of the Higgs boson mass, assuming either a total hadronic                      
branching ratio of unity or that predicted by Type II 2HDM.
