Thanks, Chris You don't happen to have searched for prog last do you? try hitting /z (assuming you don't have in the file...) in command mode and see if the highlight goes away. Nope. It happens with other bits of text in strings also, not just prog. Even how, I think search highlights with gold/yellow, not red.

Maybe the spell checker is enabled? :set nospell That was it. Thanks all.
