If you try :colorscheme blue you can see that the results have
orange background with dark text (maybe black?), while the editor
background is blue (as the name of the color scheme suggests).

If you have :set hlsearch activated, all (visible) matches will
be highlighted, and the cursor will be placed at the first match.

I don't see an option to highlight the _next_ result only. However,
if you do _not_ set hlsearch, searching and continuing searching
will not highlight anything, instead let the cursor skip to the
next match (tried here with "gvim /COPYRIGHT", /this, /, /, / and
so on), with :set nohlsearch for testing.
