Frankly it's best to try things the Vim way for quite a long while before customising it to what you are used to. Andy gave you a short and long answer, but I prefer mapping Space to clear search highlights and any status message as shown in this tip: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_all_search_pattern_matches I like scrolling around and seeing the search highlights (which I couldn't with your method). It's no pain to press Space (or \h as Andy suggested) to clear highlights when finished with them.
