How do I add sites associated to a different hub to a hub's search scope in SharePoint Online?

So, I have the following problem with searching documents in SharePoint Online:

 

Setup:

  • Tenant

    • Hub A - Agency A Intranet

      • Hub B - Department J Intranet

        • Site M - Division 1 Site

        • Site N - Division 2 Site

      • Hub F - Department K Intranet
    • Hub C - Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO)

      • Site X - Agency Q Project

      • Site Y - Division 1 Project

      • Site Z - Division 2 Project

    • Hub D - Agency P Intranet

    • Hub E - Agency Q Intranet

 

The EPMO owns all projects for the organization. My business users project-related documents to come up in their Department's Hub search results.

 

Requirements:

 

  • On Hubs A & B:

    • Search results should include Sites M, N, Y & Z.

    • but NOT site X or anything in Hubs D or E.

  • On Hub F:
    • Search results should NOT include Sites M, N, Y & Z.
  • On Hub C:
    • Search results should include Sites Y & Z.
    • Search results should NOT include Sites M & N.
  • On Hubs D, E, & F:
    • Search results should NOT include Sites M, N, Y & Z,
  • On Site M:

    • Search results should include content on Site Y.

  • On Site N:

    • Search results should include content on Site Z.

  • On Site Y:
    • Search results should NOT include content from Site M.
  • On Site Z:
    • Search results should NOT include content from Site N.

 

I have found instructions to increase search up in a hierarchy from Site -> Hub -> Tenant, but not adding results from only certain other sites.

 

Is this possible? If so, can anyone point me to the documentation to set this up?

 

Thank you!
