you don't have "zzz" anywhere else in your file, of course.
The search register can be overwritten by setting @/ to ''. This then
clears your search "properly".
For my purposes, I have the following mapping in my vimrc:
nnoremap <silent> <M-/> :set @/=''<CR>
so pressing alt-/ then clears my search.
Yeah, but all those <shift>- and <alt>- stretches on the kb make my
fingers hurt... :D
:noh
(with no "set") clears search highlighting until next search. If the 4
characters are to much for you, map it to a key, e.g.
:map <F12> :noh<CR>
:imap <F12> <C-O>:noh<CR>
Best regards,
Tony.
