Also, if your cursor does not stand out enough, you might consider
setting 'hlsearch' and setting the highlight for CurSearch to
something different than Search. By default,

:hi CurSearch
CurSearch xxx links to Search

See

:help 'hlsearch'
:help CurSearch
:help Search
:help 06.3
:help highlight-link
:help highlight-args
