To test this, I used

:set hls
:nnoremap <m-?> :noh<cr>
/some text in my file
alt+?

Strange that it wouldn't work in gvim as it works fine for me there
as long as 'nocp' is set (check your settings). For (non-g)vim,
mapping alt+? depended on my terminal: it worked for me in an xterm,
but didn't work in my rxvt nor on a raw console (outside of X). All
of this was on my Debian box.
