How to enable/disable spotlight with automator?

Hi folks

I want to create shortcuts on my desktop in order to enable/ disable the spotlight.

I can do only this at the moment:

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

But how to put that into automator and pass the password, since it needs admin rights? or it there any way to avoid the SUDO and do the same?
