Abstract: We have used $87{\mathrm{pb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of data collected with the collider detector at Fermilab to search for new particles decaying to $b\overline{b}$. We present model-independent upper limits on the cross section for narrow resonances which exclude the color-octet technirho in the mass interval $350lMl440\mathrm{GeV}{/c}^{2}$. In addition, we exclude top-gluons, predicted in models of top-color-assisted technicolor, of width $\ensuremath{\Gamma}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0.3M$ in the mass range $280lMl670\mathrm{GeV}{/c}^{2}$, of width $\ensuremath{\Gamma}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0.5M$ in the mass range $340lMl640\mathrm{GeV}{/c}^{2}$, and of width $\ensuremath{\Gamma}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0.7M$ in the mass range $375lMl560\mathrm{GeV}{/c}^{2}$.
