 Indexers are programs that can query a package repository (think of npm, or crates.io) for package information.
 This information mainly consists of the package name, the package version, and anything extra that might be useful / needed to fetch / translate it.
-The information is stored as a "source shortcut", which basically follows the format `proto1+proto2:pname/version?key=value&key2=value2`.
-
-Examples:
-- `npm:execa/6.1.0`
-- `crates-io:ripgrep/13.0.0?hash=somehash`
-- `git+ssh://github.com/owner/repo?rev=refs/heads/v1.2.3&dir=sub/dir`.
-- etc.
+The information is stored as JSON (see below).
 
 ## Indexer inputs
 
-Indexers take input as a path to a JSON file, which contains information needed by that specific indexer.
+Indexers take input as a path to a JSON file, which contains custom arguments for the indexer.
 A common attribute for these inputs across indexers are `outputFile`, which should be the path to output the generated index to.
 Indexers can vary in functionality, so these JSON inputs should be specified under `src/specifications/indexers/`.
 
 ## Indexer outputs
 
 Indexers should output their generated index to where `outputFile` specifies.
-This index should simply be a list of source shortcuts in JSON. Example:
