Sumario:Searches for fermiophobic Higgs boson decaying into photon or weak boson pairs have been performed at LEP with the data collected at center of mass energies up to 209 GeV. A summary of several analyses allowing to cover some hundred different final state topologies is presented. No statistically significant evidence of fermiophobic Higgs boson has been found. A lower limit on the Higgs boson mass is presented. More generally, anomalous couplings of the Higgs boson are searched for through the processes e +e − → H 0 γ, e +e − → e +e −H 0 and e +e − → H 0Z by the L3 collaboration. The Higgs decay channels H 0 → ff, H 0 → γγ, H 0 → Zγ and H 0 → WW(∗) are considered and no evidence is found for anomalous Higgs production or decay and limits are put.
