I could not search “/= in JavaScript” without the quotation marks

I wanted to know what the division assignment operator does in JavaScript. In my typical way of googling, I went to the url bar and typed /= in javascript. That yielded an error "Your file couldn’t be accessed." First time encountering something like that.

Yeah, it’s probably very confusing if you haven’t already encountered that inconvenience. Modern browsers are also file explorers (for the most part).
HTML, etc is still a file with code in it whether it comes from a network or your disk :)
