I've got a function:

my cursor is positioned at the first 'this' but the text
is not highlighted (nor is the text of any of the other 'this'
highlighted).
The problem is that the search register is saved before a function
call and restored after, so when your function returns the search
register no longer contains "this". See ":help
function-search-undo".
One solution would be
function! XXXX()
execute '/this'
return @/
endfunction
and to use the following instead of ":call XXXX()".
:let @/ = XXXX()
HTH,
