Gluon fusion and weak boson fusion are the two most important Higgs production processes at the LHC. Weak boson fusion leads to Higgs plus 2 jet events, with characteristic jet distributions which allow for effective background reduction and relatively clean Higgs samples. Gluon fusion induced Higgs plus 2 jet events probe the CP nature of Higgs Yukawa couplings to quarks. The talk will provide an overview of these Higgs search channels and will discuss what information they may provide at the LHC.
