In that case, you can get back to the good ol' vi behavior by unaliasing vi in your own rc files or disable /etc/profile.d/vim.sh or vim.csh. Red Hat graciously hides the normal vi program behind an alias to vim.

no, that is quite simple, and it worked -- which confuses me, because it seems when I used vi before that simply searching using /string did not carry highlighting through to a new vi session (after i quit and restart). maybe i've been living in the twilight zone for the past few years and have not noticed it ...
That's a feature of recent versions of vim, the vi replacement several flavors of Linux include now-days. Personally, it drives me nuts.
