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). -tim
If Brian is running Ubuntu that could have happened. When I mentioned on the list how updating changes default (to Ubuntu) behavior this was another symptom (I think.) -- -fREW
