You can issue :nohl to turn off highlighting until the next search. I would recommend mapping that to a key.

:map <F4> :nohl<CR>

If you want to turn off highlighting forever, use :se nohlsearch in your .vimrc

If you type ":nohls<enter>" it will turn off the search highlighting. (The next time you do a search, it will be highlighted, this is not a permanent setting. It is useful for turning off the highlighting for the current search.)

Not sure if that's what you're looking for.
