Note that you can disable this at the user level in the search engines dialog by going to the search engine options and unchecking "Use a suggestion service." This doesn't actually send what you think of as usage statistics (which is what Richard mentions below). The requests for autocomplete suggestions are in browser/autocomplete/ search_provider.cc. The "URLFetcher" object does the work and calls OnURLFetchComplete when it's done. > > I wanted to know how the usage statics are collected and how are they sent > > to google periodically.

This is different than the what the help center article was referring to that Ramaprasanna mentioned above. The metrics service collects usage statistics for users that opt-in (this happens on the download page and is off by default). You can change this at the top of "Under the hood" in the options dialog. This service also uses the URLFetcher to do the request, so search for that if you're wondering what the request looks like.
