I'm not sure whether you do or don't want the highlighting, and
if so, which thing you want highlighted.
If you want to preserve your original search, you can use
function! Alpha()
" ...
let l:saved_search = @/
/pattern/;
let @/ = l:saved_search
" ...
endfunction
If you want to have the pattern from your function highlighted
upon completion, the following hack worked for me:
function! Beta()
" ...
/pattern/;
set hls
let @/ = @/
" ...
endfunction
I'm not sure if either of these are exactly what you're asking,
but with a clearer understanding of (1) what was searched for
before the function was called, (2) what was searched for in the
function, and (3) what you expect to be highlighted at the
completion of the function, it should be possible to concoct a
solution.
