A system and method for establishing cross-relationships between objects is presented. A primary search is executed on a first object. A set of tagger identifiers is then determined based on the primary search. Each tagger identifier includes an internal instance key and one or more attributes of a match with the first object related to the primary search, and each tagger identifier of the set of tagger identifiers provides data for a secondary search. The secondary search is then executed on each of a secondary object that is tagged by the first object scanned by the primary search, the secondary search using the internal instance key and one or more attributes of the match with the first object.
