Subject: [PATCH] [MKI] Fix flaky search source alert test (#205481)

## Summary

Use settings
[method](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/c8d46ee94982cf38163786f0890bafd43ec07247/test/functional/page_objects/settings_page.ts#L648)
instead of naive typing.
Naive only because the asterisk at the end of the text box is better
handled in the settings method.
