Maybe useful for somebody.

Modification in extensions/CirrusSearch/includes/Searcher.php (function buildFullTextSearch( $term ) ) for search in insource mode as default:

Also set in LocalSettings.php:

 $wgInSourceSearchDefault = true;

Feature Request.. Would be nice to have check button on search page for insource-searching..

It would probably be easier or less prone to breaking on upgrade, to add a JavaScript gadget that would automatically prepend the insource: text on the search term when submitting the form.
