Already in the simplest two-Higgs-doublet model with CP violation in the Higgs sector, the $3\times3$ mixing matrix for the neutral Higgs bosons can substantially modify their couplings, thereby endangering the ``classical'' Higgs search strategies. However, there are sum rules relating Yukawa and Higgs-Z couplings which ensure that the ZZ, $b\anti b$ and $t\anti t$ couplings of a given neutral 2HDM Higgs boson cannot all be simultaneously suppressed. This result implies that any single Higgs boson will be detectable at an e^+e^- collider if the Z+Higgs, $b\anti b+$Higgs {\it and} $t\anti t+$Higgs production channels are all kinematically accessible {\it and} if the integrated luminosity is sufficient. We explore, as a function of Higgs mass, the luminosity required to guarantee Higgs boson detection, and find that for moderate $\tan\beta$ values the needed luminosity is unlikely to be available for all possible mixing scenarios. The additional difficulties for the case when the two-doublet Higgs sector is extended by adding one more singlet are summarized. Implications of the sum rules for Higgs discovery at the Tevatron and LHC are briefly discussed.
