Out of curiosity, have you tried Pico's specialized search
at http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Search ?  Does it do any
better?

Oh, but you can!  You just have to add "overflow" to the set of 
allowed CSS properties (in local/config.php):

    $WikiStyleCSS[] = 'overflow';

Then the following should work:

    %define=box block bgcolor=#ffffcc border="2px dotted grey" 
      width:650px overflow:auto%

See, for example http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/Overflow .
