We have searched for a light standard-model Higgs boson produced in association with an intermediate vector boson at the Fermilab proton-antiproton collider operating at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV. The search was made by looking for an excess of isolated high-transverse-momentum charged-track pairs in $W$ and $Z$ events. A Higgs boson with a mass $m_H$ in the intervals $2m_{\mu }<m_H<818\mathrm{}$ MeV/${\mathit{c}}^2$, and $846 \frac{\mathrm{MeV}}{c^2}<m_H<2\mathrm{}{m}_K$ is excluded at 90% C.L.
