### Default Settings

If you are upgrading and do not update your config file with the `cache-duraction`
113-
variable, cache will by default be disabled (it will have a `0` cache duration).

115-
essentially forever.

By default, the configuration specifies a Chain Provider as the first provider,

120-
for use in specific situations (providers contained in the Chain provider will
121-
be run by default, providers not in the Chain provider need to be called
122-
explicitly). The second GoogleMaps Provider outside of the Chain Provider is
123-
there just to illustrate this point (and is used by the PHPUnit tests).

### Configuration
112+
#### Providers
113+
If you are upgrading and have previously published the geocoder config file, you
114+
need to add the `cache-duration` variable, otherwise cache will be disabled
115+
(it will default to a `0` cache duration). The default cache duration provided
116+
by the config file is `999999999` minutes, essentially forever.
117+
118+
By default, the configuration specifies a Chain provider, containing the
119+
GoogleMaps provider for addresses as well as reverse lookups with lat/long,
120+
and the GeoIP provider for IP addresses. The first to return a result
121+
will be returned, and subsequent providers will not be executed. The default
122+
config file is kept lean with only those two providers.
123+
124+
However, you are free to add or remove providers as needed, both inside the
125+
Chain provider, as well as along-side it. The following is an example config
126+
with additional providers we use for testing:
