"Select by location" is a function that highlights the result of the query in the attribute table and on the map. This tool allows you to select features based on their geographic relationship with features in another layer. Here are the steps:

1. Open the attribute table of the layer from which you want to select features.
2. Click on the "Select by location" button.
3. In the "Select by location" dialog box, select the target layer in the "Selection method" drop-down list.
4. Specify the source layer in the "Source layer" drop-down list.
5. Define the spatial relationship between the target layer and the source layer.
6. Click "Apply" to execute the selection.

The selected features will be highlighted in the attribute table and on the map. This function does not create a new data layer as a result, nor does it only use one data layer. It uses the attribute table to perform the selection.
