How to prevent "less" from highlighting unprintable characters?

Post by HyperBear »

As can be seen in the attached screenshot, all those unprintable characters are highlighted in white. When searching a binary file, this makes the result far less visible since it is also highlighted in white.

Is there any way to remove that white highlighting from unprintable characters?
