This way, you've effectively turned off search highlighting, no matter of ":nohl" command. > :help nohlsearch says > > Stop the highlighting for the 'hlsearch' option.

The *command* ":nohlsearch" turns off search highlighting temporarily, so it doesn't clutter your display. It is turned on again if you do any new search. If you do "set nohlsearch", you will never get search highlighting. Raúl Núñez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to...
