It sounds like in the process, a vimrc (system-wide?) was
changed. You don't mention your distro/OS, so it's hard to help
there.
However, in your $HOME/.vimrc (or _vimrc on Win32), you can
simply add the line
set hls
to turn on highlighting your searches by default.
If you just want to turn it on for a current session, you can use
it as an Ex command:
:set hls
or toggle it with
:set hls!
Using this method, it's not preserved across runs of Vim though
(which is what the vimrc is for).
