VIM (shift-3) problem (search/highlight)

[HoneyNutCheerios]

When using VIM, I accidently pressed shift-3, which highlighted every occurrence of the word the cursor was on. How do I undo that search?

I unsuccessfully searched the VIM documentation and some Googled websites.

Code: Select all

:nohl

That should turn off highlighting.

Code: Select all

/asdf

is what I use more often, just out of habit. (a search for an unlikely string)
