I've tried Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, etc... Nothing works.
Is there a way to clear docsearch highlighting?

When I use DOCSEARCH, the resulting pages show the keywords of the search highlighted in some color. Is there a way to clear the highlighting? I find it distracting.

No solution, but just want to agree that it's really annoying. In previous versions you could cmd-R (at least on a Mac) and remove highlights, but that no longer works in R2013a.

Glad that helped Matt, just to follow up there is an easier way that was actually release noted in 13a -- use the Esc key
From the 13a release notes:
" Search term highlighting and content expansion in the Help browser
In the Help browser, search terms now appear highlighted when you view pages linked from the search results. If the search term occurs within a collapsed section on the page, the browser automatically expands the content.
For example, the reference page for the publish function includes the term bmp in collapsed content. When you search the documentation for bmp, and then select the publish reference page, the Help browser expands the relevant section on the page and highlights all occurrences of the term.
To clear highlights, press the Esc key.
In case others have the same question.
