The following code works in the terminal
hi Search ctermfg=Red ctermbg=White cterm=NONE
As soon as it is added to vimrc, saved, and sourced the search is not highlited. It is highlited in the default color but not in the new color mentioned.
Any tips of why that is happening?

Just put this in your .vimrc
.
hi Search cterm=NONE ctermfg=grey ctermbg=blue
looks great in mobaxter or any black background terminal

Your custom highlight will be reset if you change colorscheme.
In that case you may use autocmd
to achieve that like:
autocmd ColorScheme * hi Search ctermfg=Red ctermbg=White cterm=NONE

If you put your hi
command before a colorscheme
command in your vimrc, the loaded colorscheme is probably overwriting your highlight with one of its own. Try moving it to after the colorscheme.
