It seems like the fieldA is a multivalued field, so try something like this

search command earliest=7d|table fieldA | mvexpand fieldA | eval from="Search1" 
|append [search command earliest=2d|table fieldA | mvexpand fieldA | eval from="Search2" ]
| stats values(from) as from by fieldA 
| where mvcount(from)=1 AND from="Search1"
