How do you turn off the yellow highlighting after your done with the search?
I use https://github.com/romainl/vim-cool to do it automatically

How can I make searching for an empty string actually execute :let @/=""

What is the coolest, unknown(-ish) plugin that you're using that other people could benefit from?
vim-cool Not sure if there's an easier way to do it than having this plugin, but it disables search highlighting when you're done, and enables again when you search again. Makes me not have to use `:noh`
- set nohlsearch when pressing anything except n or N?
-
Call :noh command at InsertEnter autocmd
You may be interested in the vim-cool plugin, which uses InsertEnter and CursorMoved autocmds to automatically disable search highlighting after you're done with the search.

Mini Neovim
I changed most of the plugins I used for the mini versions, they are simple and lightweight and have a very simple configuration pattern. Thank you so much u/echasnovski for your work and dedication. Taking this opportunity, I would like to make a suggestion, a mini version of vim-slash, that automatically clears search highlight when cursor is moved in insert mode.

Is there a way to disable all mappings declared in a specific plugin?
I just switched to using packer and recently added the plugin junegunn/vim-slash. I like the "auto clear highlight" but don't like some of the key bindings declared in the plugin. The plugin seems to be "done" so I can just fork it but I'd like to know if there's a solution for any plugin so I can easily keep my plugins up to date without having to manually merge.

romainl seems to recommend https://github.com/junegunn/vim-slash as a more complete alternative. Use whatever makes you happy.
-
Useful `map`s and `autocmd`s to hide highlight after searching

- Drop-in plugin for switching between two search highlighting modes

How can I learn VIM workflow(besides actual VIM)
