Finding the Higgs as predicted would actually be about the most boring outcome of all of this.. it wouldn't help advance the current models at all, it would just confirm another puzzle piece. But we know the current models aren't sufficient to explain other things so a more exciting result would be to not find the Higgs at all, or find it but find something not quite the same, something that would upset the apple cart a bit and give an idea of where to look to find the next big advance.
