Windows FINDSTR command is useful for sifting through large amounts of data; it filters out lines of text that don't contain a specified pattern or string (like GNU/BSD grep).
But it refuses to output lines greater than a certain length. Is there a (native) alternative, fix, or workaround?

SS64's FINDSTR - Escapes and Length limits says:
Line Length limits
Files specified as a command line argument or via the
/F:FILEoption have no known line length limit. Searches were successfully run against a 128MB file that did not contain a single <LF>.
Piped data and Redirected input is limited to 8191 bytes per line. This limit is a "feature" of FINDSTR. It is not inherent to pipes or redirection. FINDSTR using redirected stdin or piped input will never match any line that is >=8k bytes. Lines >= 8k generate an error message to stderr, but ERRORLEVEL is still 0 if the search string is found in at least one line of at least one file.
