The Vim online help (options.txt) has this to say about 'hlsearch':
"When you get bored looking at the highlighted matches, you can turn 
it off with |:nohlsearch|. As soon as you use a search command, the 
highlighting comes back."

Put this in your .vimrc to bind the command-mode key sequence "g/":
  map g/ :nohlsearch^M
(make sure you insert an actual Ctrl-M character (using ^V)).
