Iterate over column search results

Question

Is there a way in Vim (or the plugin) to search for a term and iterate over the search results (by nin Vim) by column rather than row? So, if my file was like this:

foo1  bar   bar
baz   baz   foo3
baz   baz   foo4
foo2  bar   bar

If I search foo, I want to iterate the results in the order 1,2,3,4. Usually it nwill move me through them in the order of 1,3,4,2.

I want this, for example, to look up search results in a huge fixed-width data file or CSV file where the columns represent fields.

(I also agree to do this in Emacs instead. :)
