To search for a g in column 4 you can do:
grep '^...g' filename
The ^ anchors the search to the left hand side of the line. Those dots match anything. Another way to do exactly the same thing is:
grep '^.\{3\}g'
You wouldn't do that here with just three dots, but at some point it start to make sense. To search for something 3 columns wide, specify 3 columns worth of stuff:
grep '^...cat'
will search for cat in columns 4 though 6. grep can do very much more...this just scratches the surface.

NAME
gnome-search-tool - the GNOME Search Tool
SYNOPSIS
gnome-search-tool [options]
or select Search for Files... from a Main Menu or from the Places menu in a Menu Bar
DESCRIPTION
GNOME Search Tool is a utility for finding files on your system. To perform a basic search, you can type a filename or a partial filename,
with or without wildcards. To refine your search, you can apply additional search options.
GNOME Search Tool uses the find, grep, and locate UNIX commands. The case sensitivity of the search depends on your operating system. For
example, on Linux, the find, grep, and locate commands support the -i option, so all searches are case-insensitive.
For full documentation see the GNOME Search Tool online help.
