It just adds a /?=charactername or /?=guildname (inserting generic search terms) to the end of the main World of Warcraft page URL, but doesn’t actually take you to a search page. The issue is in both Chrome and Firefox on 2019 iMac that I tested.
I’ve run into this issue, too. I don’t know when it started.
Edit: I found a workaround. Look up a character by name in a search engine and it will show the profile. Click on it, and everything should return to normal. I accidentally found it by searching up the armory on google. Not gonna say the realm, however.
