The tip for that is:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_multiple_words

It can be done manually to a limited extent. In the following,
"Search" and "Error" are highlight groups that should be
displayed by default with the ":highlight" command.

:match Search /\<yellow\>/
:2match Error /\<red\>/

To switch highlighting off:

:match none
:2match none
