Using the Westerbork synthesis radio telescope at 49-cm wavelength and at 0.6 GHz, a search for redshifted H I and OH absorption in high redshift quasars is made. The investigation is carried out near redshifts of 1.33 (H I) and 1.74 (OH), which is close to the emission-line redshifts of most of the objects observed. An investigation of seven quasars, 0202 172, 1331 + 170, 1356 + 022, 1615 + 028, 1756 + 237, 2005 + 403, and 2158 + 101, indicates that no absorption is detected in any of the objects. Upper limits of 1 to 2 percent of this absorption features are obtained and the results are discussed.
