Is there anyway to disable some of the spotlight options in System Preferences? An example of this is to uncheck the Bing Web Searches when using Spotlight and others. Thanks

I tried for days to get this to work via MCX or a custom configuration profile. I never got it working consistently.

I ended up making the settings the way I wanted, and then using Composer to make a package of the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Spotlight.plist file. It's one of the times that a DMG with FUT/FEU enabled is quite helpful. :)
