The FTC has stated that Mozilla has experimented with "Do Not Track" technology. I would like to know if in Mozilla's experience, whether "Do Not Track" would include Internet users' search activity in addition to their browsing activity.
I am an SEO.

Do Not Track only makes Firefox send a specific DNT=1 entry via the HTTP response header. Nothing more. It is up to the server to decide how to react upon such a request.

Thank-you.
I also seek to know if the proposed Do Not Track legislation would include Internet user's search activity in addition to their website activity. Thanks again if you can help me with this question.

That DNT setting has no effect on any personal data stored in Firefox in contrary to Private Browsing mode where no data is stored on disk.
If you enable do-not-track then all data like cookies, history, cache is still stored on the computer.
Thank-you
You're welcome
