medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I have no suggestions regarding the PL, it is exactly this sort of problem that puts me off even attempting to use it. I suspect, however, that Ambrose's commentary is available in a number of more recent editions, which might even have topic indexes. Between CCSL and Sources chrétiens nearly everything seem to have edited at least once - maybe try there?
