The purpose of the Quick Select tool is to make it easy to select entities by property type.
When you run this command it will give you a list of the different element types in the drawing. Expand the element type you're interested in and select the property that you wish to filter by. Click OK and all those elements will be selected.
Note that if you have any elements selected when you initially run the command, there will be a prompt to only use the selected objects. Use this if you are interested in selecting from a particular view, or if you need to continually narrow down your selection.
