A:
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.

thanks,but i want some vim setting that control highlighting behaviour,not a command to remove the highlighting.

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 you .vimrc
