After performing some search operation vim highlights its occurrences. These occurrences persist as long as editor is opened or another search is performed.

You can look in the doc at :h nohl:
When there is a previous search pattern, highlight all its matches.
A useful mapping is the following:
nnoremap <C-l> :nohl<CR><C-L>
Originally <C-l> redraw the screen, with this mapping you first clear the highlighting and then redraw the screen.
