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.
