Spotlight Options Yosemite

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. :)
