There are two highlight settings which might be involved: one (Search)
for all matches for the latest pattern, and another one (IncSearch)
for the next match for the pattern you are typing between hitting / or
? and the corresponding <Enter>. To see how they are set on your Vim,
and where (if anywhere) those settings were defined, use

:verbose exe "hi Search" | hi IncSearch

When I do this after starting "vim -u DEFAULTS", the answer (in Vim 8.2.646) is

Search xxx term=reverse ctermbg=11 guibg=Yellow
IncSearch xxx term=reverse cterm=reverse gui=reverse

With my usual vimrc and my homemade colorscheme the answer in gvim is

Search xxx term=reverse ctermfg=0 ctermbg=14 guibg=Yellow
Last set from ~/.vim/colors/almost-default.vim line 22
IncSearch xxx term=reverse cterm=reverse gui=reverse
Last set from ~/.vim/colors/almost-default.vim line 22

In both cases both search-related highlights are set the way I want them to be.

14 in that helpfile)
