I suspect this is two separate things:

1) you have (as mentioned in a parallel thread) a file with DOS
newlines. Follow Tony's advice for getting rid of them.

2) you /also/ have them being highlighted yellow because it may have
been your last search. There are a couple ways to get rid of it
depending on what you want. If you never want to see your search
matches highlighted, you can issue ":set nohls" or put the line in
your vimrc (or rather, since you pasted your vimrc, remove the "set
hlsearch" line from it). If you just want to temporarily quiet Vim
from highlighting the match, but you want it to highlight future
searches, you can issue ":noh".

To learn more about each, you can read up at

:help :noh
