TermVectors are not used for searching; they just store each doc, inverted.
They allow you to retrieve all terms (and optionally their positions/offsets) for a given document. But this entails a seek, per-document, so it's fairly costly. Highlighters use term vectors because they are a good way to map a given term back to the start/end offset in the original text; without them you usually have to re-analyze the text (though, you could also do highlighting client-side, eg use JS to locate all surface forms for a given term, and highlight them, for HTML; or ask Acrobat Reader to similarly highlight terms).
