FS (Express Tool)
Creates a selection set of all objects that touch the selected object.

FS (Fast Select) selects lines, polylines, circles, arcs, attribute definitions, text, mtext, ellipses, and images.
The behavior of FS is controlled with FSMODE:
If FSMODE is set to OFF (the default), FS selects only those objects that are touching the selected object.
If FSMODE is set to ON, FS selects all the objects that are touching the selected object as well as any objects that are touching those objects. The selection process continues down the chain of unselected objects that are touching the selected object until no more unselected objects are visible in the drawing area.
Tip: You can use FS at the Command prompt, or transparently ('FS) in many commands at the Select Objects prompt.
