I'm just curious about this... I usually just type :noh, but thought this

might be a good idea.  However, I tried it, and it seemed to be recursive,
as vim continually seemed to be repeating the command, and I was unable to
enter any other commands, and had to close the window.

I was able to do something similar which worked:
map<c-l>  :nohl<cr>:redr<cr>

Did I do something wrong?

Sounds like you want :nnoremap instead of :nmap (the distinction being precisely this case where it can trigger recursive expansion).

Thanks, learned something new.  I'm not a heavy user of key mapping, so I hadn't had to learn that one yet.
