Subject: [PATCH] vim: avoid toggling the search highlight option

I usually want to clear the highlights after doing whatever the reason
for the search was, but having to re-enable it all the time was
annoying. So, using `:nohlsearch` fixes that, as this command does
exactly what I actually wanted all along.
