Splunk App for Unix and Linux: How can compare the 2 servers and get the unique ones from list one?

I have two lists of servers from two queries:

Search 1 ==>

| metadata type=hosts index=os| search host=srt* OR host=c1a* OR host=c2a*|table host|rename host as HostNames

Search 2 ==>

index="os" sourcetype="ps" host=srt* OR host=c1a* OR host=c2a* | eval processexists=if(match(_raw, "puppet"), 1, 0)  | search processexists=1 |dedup host|table host|rename host as PuppetClients

Now I want to find the servers that are there in Search 1 and not in Search 2.
