The equivalent feature is searching for regular expressions.  Some
other packages provide similar feature, with more and differently.
AFAIK, there is nothing wrapped up with the same user interface as
Scope Selectors of Textmate.

For example, regular expression don't have exclusions.  But you could
use the cedet and its Bovinator to implement partial parses to the
same effect.


In summary, 90 % of Scope selectors you can do it with regular
expressions, and Scope selectors is 10% of what you can do with tools
existing in emacs.
