You can option-click on a cell bracket to select all cells in the
same style.  Option-shift-click will add them to an existing selection.
This handles a large fraction of what the old feature was good for.
For example, to select all the input cells in a notebook, just
option-click on the cell bracket of any input cell.

Or you can use the NotebookFind function to select cells matching
a given style:

   NotebookFind[SelectedNotebook[], "Input", All, {CellStyle}]

will find all "Input" style cells in the notebook. 

Here is a palette you might find useful: It has buttons to select
all the input, output, etc, style cells in a notebook.  You can
easily add buttons for whatever particular styles you want.

Cell[BoxData[GridBox[{
        {
          ButtonBox["Input"]},
        {
          ButtonBox["Output"]},
        {
          ButtonBox["Message"]},
        {
          ButtonBox["Print"]},
        {
          ButtonBox["Text"]},
        {
          ButtonBox["Title"]}
        },
      RowSpacings->0,
      ColumnSpacings->0]], "Text",
  ButtonBoxOptions->{ButtonFunction:>(FrontEndExecute[ {
      FrontEnd`NotebookFind[ 
        FrontEnd`SelectedNotebook[ ], #, All, {CellStyle}]}]&),
  Active->True}]
