How to get rid of search highlight in Vim

I use

/pleasedisablehighlightthanks

command. Or just

/qewrufhiqwe

But you should be carefult not to mix this with the following command!

/qewrufhiqew

:noremap <silent> <c-l> :nohls<cr><c-l>

This would redraw the screen and clear any search terms with Control-L, handy :) easier than reaching up to the F keys.

Try the :noh command.
