How to compare field values ​​in different indexes? which returns "match" and "not match"
Same as vlookup functionality of Excel.

By using | join I get the "match" one, but how to can I get "not match"???

index=A* source="AB*" | rename "Field A" as name | eval name=lower(name) | join type=inner name [search index=B* |eval name=lower(name) |table name | sort name] | table name |sort name

Have you tried using the command 'set' like so:

set diff [index=A* source="AB*" | rename "Field A" as name | eval name=lower(name)| fields name] [search index=B* |eval name=lower(name) | fields name]

and 

set intersect [index=A* source="AB*" | rename "Field A" as name | eval name=lower(name)| fields name] [search index=B* |eval name=lower(name) | fields name]
