There's a command to do exactly that: :nohlsearch This will turn off highlighting for the current search. Highlighting will come back for the next search. Note that this is different from the 'hlsearch' option, whose effects are permanent. Of course you can map this: :map <F2> :nohlsearch<CR> -- JR
