How can I limit output to the terminal width

When I use pstree I see that lines only go up to the terminal width (that is, no word wrap), but when I grep the output, it does wrap. What function is it using to change this behavior?

bash$ pstree
\--= 76211 _spotlight /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/Metadata.framework/Versions/A/Support/mdworker MDSImporte
bash$ pstree | grep MDSImporte
\--= 76211 _spotlight /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/Metadata.framework/Versions/A/Support/mdworker MDSImporterWorker com.apple.Spotlight.ImporterWorker.89
shell bash
