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.Bildschirmfoto 2025-05-19 um 06.26.48.png
