you did not respond to John's question: you know about "*"?, and your
re-query implies you don't

if you navigate to the word you want highlighted, press * , that word
will be searched for, and by virtue of its now being in the @/ register,
all occurrences of that word will now by default be highlighted, and you
can re-search with n and N
