    The simplest way is to enter the :noh command.

    Additionally, you can add this line to your .vimrc to map that command to the Enter key, so you can simply press Enter after searching to clear highlight:

    :nnoremap <CR> :noh<CR><CR>
    
    • vim clear last search highlighting
    • A Vim and ViEmu mapping you really can’t miss – never type :noh again!
