Vim: Cancel a search

Solved
Tintin72 -

Hello,

In Vim when I search for an occurrence I type /occurrence
and all occurrences present in the text are highlighted in yellow.
The problem is that once I’ve finished my search, the occurrences remain highlighted and I can't find the command to cancel the search.
Can someone help me?

Thank you
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

    Hello,

    A simple reading of the learning tutorial "vimtutor" (launch by typing "vimtutor") would have given you :
    Lesson 6.4: ADJUSTING OPTIONS 6. To turn off the highlighting of search results, type: :nohlsearch
    ;-))
