How can I disable the Help Apple Improve Search Item in the Spotlight Section of the System Settings?
I can't find anything in Configuration Profiles and didn't find something related in com.apple.Spotlight.plist in /Library/Preferences/ or ~/Library/Preferences/.

Deploy the below Plist 

com.apple.assistant.support 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Search Queries Data Sharing Status</key> <integer>2</integer> <key>Siri Data Sharing Opt-In Status</key> <integer>2</integer> </dict> </plist>

I tried this and I cannot get this to work, do you setup a configuration profile?

You have to configure a Configuration Profile in Jamf Pro as seen in the screenshot below.
