The simplest way is to enter the :noh command.
Additionally, you can add this line to your .vimrc to map that command to the Enter key, so you can simply press Enter after searching to clear highlight:
:nnoremap <CR> :noh<CR><CR>

1My original post had it mapped to `Esc`. I've changed to to `
` which is `Enter`. That may help, as I remember `Esc` acting kind of funny too. – Jonathon Reinhart Oct 25 '12 at 04:15 -
...anywhere in your `~/.vimrc` file. – Jonathon Reinhart Oct 25 '12 at 04:16

@Yan note that you don't need the `:` in front of `nnoremap` to add to your `.vimrc` – K Z Oct 25 '12 at 04:17
