Are you using VIM? This doesn't sound like a native VI feature...

[shebang]

yeah, it is vim because, when he searched something with '/' , it auto matically enables high-lighting on some distros. ??? i don't know why?

at the bash prompt, type in: % vimtutor and search for highlight. It should tell how how to disable it. I am not sure I remember.

My solution:
use elvis :P

Not all of them use Slack, you know? plus, other distros (except debian) probably do NOT come with elvis. Debian does. ;D But that is out of question.

the easiest solutions by far is this:

odds are very small that that string will be found in your document
