You are correct. Only the regex flavor is disabled. The plain flavor
still works.
I've got into contact with upstream about the issue and started work on a
patch to fix it. I'm intentionally not linking to the issue because it
might be a security issue for others who expose RegEx search like we do.
Its a pretty rare feature but I figure being paranoid isn't that bad here.

Hi Nikolas,
Is my understanding correct that only RegEx search with insource was
disabled, and you can still use regular "plain match" search in Wikitext
with insource?

We've temporarily disabled CirrusSearch's
insource:// syntax because we
believe it was that cause of two CirrusSearch outages this week. We'll
reenable it when we're confident it won't break anything and we'll send
another email to this list.
Thanks! insource is amazing, thanks for working on it. The priority now
is of course extending Cirrus to all remaining wikis; if re-enabling
insource everywhere proves hard, please consider starting with the small
wikis.
