Vim remembers your last search and acts accordingly, even on a new file. 2. What you are searching for is 'zero or more matches of a digit followed by any character', i.e. 'anything', so it gets highlighted. My usual trick to accomplish this is to type /aseldkfja/, where "aseldkfja" is any short burst of random typing, and then hit return.
