Re: How can I disable search highlighting after I use search for delete {motion}?

Thanks for everybody's response!

Yes, I can use combination of other motion such as d<n>(t|f), ... but
in some situations, I think searching is the most intuitive way to
tell vim what I want to do.

The remapping of 'Ctrl-L' sounds the best solution to me. I will
follow this. An 'Ctrl-L' after search is a bit of extra work, but the
situations where only searching works do not occur much, so it is fine
to me.
