[Qgis-user] QGIS Select by Location, but no within a distance of

[C Hamilton]

I just had a user tell me he had to go back to ArcGIS so that he could use
the Select by Location function and specify a distance from the feature. He
could not believe that it was not available in QGIS. See

https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/map/working-with-layers/using-select-by-location.htm

What he is looking for is the "Are within a distance of" operator. Am I
missing it in QGIS if not this is a really important operator to include. I
know you can always prebuffer the layer, but for an analyst who does this
regularly ours will go back to using ArcGIS.

Would this be fairly easy to implement?
