source="sourceA" source="sourceB"

is equivalent to

source="sourceA" AND source="sourceB"

Because your events are very unlikely to be in the sourceA and the sourceB at the same time.

You should use OR instead of AND.

source="sourceA" OR source="sourceB"

That is simply incorrect search syntax. You should take the Splunk tutorial to learn the basics, particularly the Start searching section.
