when I am searching anything with spotlight a category Web Searches appears at the bottom of the results. Clicking these links Safari opens and would search the web or wikipedia. But I never use these web searches and I would like to remove them.

Removing Webpages from the spotlight system preferences did not help.

I found several instructions on removing Developer and Others, or to rate the dictionary results up.

All these make use of ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.spotlight.plist.

Maybe it is possible using this file, but I was not able to find out the proper value for the name key in order to remove the Web Searches category. Or maybe there is another solution to this problem?

Any suggestions? I am using OS X Mavericks 10.9.3, btw.
