There are two highlight settings which might be involved: one (Search)
for all matches for the latest pattern, and another one (IncSearch)
for the next match for the pattern you are typing between hitting / or
? and the corresponding <Enter>. To see how they are set on your Vim,
and where (if anywhere) those settings were defined, use

        :verbose exe "hi Search" | hi IncSearch

When I do this after starting "vim -u DEFAULTS", the answer (in Vim 8.2.646) is

        Search         xxx term=reverse ctermbg=11 guibg=Yellow
        IncSearch      xxx term=reverse cterm=reverse gui=reverse

With my usual vimrc and my homemade colorscheme the answer in gvim is

        Search         xxx term=reverse ctermfg=0 ctermbg=14 guibg=Yellow
                Last set from ~/.vim/colors/almost-default.vim line 22
        IncSearch      xxx term=reverse cterm=reverse gui=reverse
                Last set from ~/.vim/colors/almost-default.vim line 22

In both cases both search-related highlights are set the way I want them to be.

See also
        :help :colorscheme
        :view $VIMRUNTIME/colors/README.txt
        :help :highlight (which is two long sections, numbered 13 and
14 in that helpfile)

Best regards,
Tony.
