I provided a two-part answer. ;^) Apparently, I was too terse. :-(
Searching for something else that is not in your document will turn off
the previously highlighted entries immediately.
Recent versions of vim will remember what you've last searched for
between sessions, so you could consider this 'permanent' if you never
search for anything else.
':set nohlsearch' will turn off search highlighting for your current
session (ie while the current vim process is running). If you wish to
make it permanent, you need to update your .vimrc file.
vim's online documentation is quite good, if you know what to look for.
In this case we do:
:help hlsearch
