direct link-ExitasOk after a research i can answer on your 1st question:
i can do a guild search and a live guild search just fine, but when i try to do a character search i am sent back to the home page and it is stuck on searching. any ideas on what the problem is?
Stuck on searching is only a problem for US servers atm because wow-heroes have a high traffic for all US realms,and i really hope we will sort that problem soon. After u select some character on guild page its normal to go back to main page ,so wow-heroes can load all data for asked char ,but with high traffic that can sometimes take a while.
