FAIK, There are no columns per se. But in the past I've just used UTM values for each lat lon and just do basic numeric operators >, < to search within a bounding geographic region. Add them as numeric fields though. Easy.
There is new support for spatial searching, however I'm not sure how it compares to what I described, which works great. Probably does some automatic conversions or something. Check the wiki.
