Follow below steps:

1) From Search administration, Do a crawl first (if you recently added the column).

2) Then add a Managed Metadata Property which maps to the particular column. Select "Allow this property to be used in scopes" for the managed property

3) Do a crawl again

4) While Creating a new scope,select "Property Query" as scope rule type.Under Property Query drop-down, you will see the managed property you created. Select it and insert the value you want for comparison in the text box below.

5) After your scope is complied, it is ready to use
