If only there were some sort of search oriented engine that you could use over the global internetwork to enter in such queries... [where is it]

This post contains strong sarcasm and passive aggressiveness. Readers discretion is advised.
People complain about random numbers in ED, forgetting that lots of stuff in games is random.
The only difference with the Engineers is: You kinda SEE it.
All other randomness rolls behind the scenes ... which ships are in SC at your destination? Who will attack you? What the outfitting in the surrounding ships? What paintjob do they have? Will someone decide to interdict you? What message will he send you? Don´t forget the random generated star systems and bodies - hell, 99,99% of the galaxy is RNgenerated.
And then ... the effectiveness of modified modules are SHOWN as random (in a specified range). OH. MY. GOD. Some people get mad about it.
I will NEVER, repeat, NEVER understand this. How is this possible with adult people. Oh, wait...

Remissly Nerfed Gameplay. 
no you only call it PG in other games when you also call it revolutionary and amazing
here you must call it RNG so it sounds more pointlessly random - good lord if it wasn't what would people whinge about?
Rapid Negativity Generator .-.
This is how you do it...

OP if you haven't got it already. The RNG people speak of is to do with the engineers. A random number is generated dictating the outcome of the modification you will receive.

ah, kind of like in AD&D, "roll a D10 to see if the spell really improved your armour"... can't say I like it, sounds too much like installing windows or adobe updates.
Certainly makes the min-maxes cry.
I used to be a min-maxer like you, until I took a Frontier RNG to the knee.
*Chuckles in the background*
You didn't hear me shrill like a 3 yr old girl when my modification went south on the RNG roll fort he 3rd time. Even my own 3 yr old lil girl (my other joy of my life apart from Elite D when not dealing with RNG) gave me a look.
