Get rid of Vim's highlight after searching text

Question

In VIM, after finding text with \"/\" command, that text remains highlighted.

What is the command to remove that? I don\'t want to remove highlighting capability at

Answer 1

You can toggle it with

:set hls!

Of course a quick and dirty alternative is to do another search for gibberish:

/asdsad

I usually bind a key to :set hls! to make this easy and use the gibberish approach when I'm in vim on some machine I don't have my profile installed on.
