When using VIM's incremental search option I usually search and after I got to the first result (it will be highlighted) I use the / key to jump to the next result.
But:
/ makes VIM jump to the next result but it won't highlight it.I am wondering if there is a more efficient way to jump between the results using incremental search and get them highlighted.

Press Esc to cancel or press Enter to perform the search. Then press n to search forwards for the next occurrence, or N to search backwards. Type ggn to jump to the first match, or GN to jump to the last.
incsearch. vim is a Vim plugin which improve incremental searching. It provides functionality to highlight all matches while searching, to move cursor to next/previous match while searching and so on.
The customary key for jumping to the next search result is 'n'.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean about highlighting - all search results should be highlighted if hlsearch is set, and for me it makes no difference if I go to the next result with 'n' or with '/'.

With Ctrl-t and Ctrl-g you can move between matches without leaving the search mode
