Also, if your cursor does not stand out enough, you might consider
setting 'hlsearch' and setting the highlight for CurSearch to
something different than Search.  By default,

    :hi CurSearch
    CurSearch      xxx links to Search

See

    :help 'hlsearch'
    :help CurSearch
    :help Search
    :help 06.3
    :help highlight-link
    :help highlight-args

Regards,
Gary
