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

If you don't want to remove highlighting one of the best ways is to clear the search register, unless of course you need the search items later. This will prevent you from having to re-enable the highlighting and(Edit: noh does not permanently disable highlighting) prevent you from accidentally jumping around. This is how I have mine setup:

nmap ,/ :let@/=""

What this does is map the key sequence ,/ in normal mode to clear the search register @/ by setting it to an empty string. This is just an alternative to what has already been stated.
