A Zookeeper quorum is not necessary for searching. Well, that's stating it a little too strongly. A Solr cluster will do its best to search given the last state of the cluster each Solr node got from Zookeeper.
You will not be able to index without a quorum though. bq: How do I check if my Solr is running based on the external ZooKeeper or the embedded ZooKeeper in Solr 5.2.1? You have to specify the -DzkRun to run embedded ZK. If you didn't do that, it's not running.
