MCS executes "Inter-Book" Searches using "equals", not "does not equal".

The easiest way to do what you want to do that I can think of is to create a Calibre Catalog of only Title & Publisher columns in a .csv format.

Import that .csv into a spreadsheet application, and format all of the data as Text.

Then, use standard spreadsheet functionality to sort by Title then Publisher, and then to summarize and group the data first by Title and then by Publisher.

After all of the grouping has been accomplished, and Titles with only a single Publisher have been removed, Titles with multiple Publishers should remain.

You can then copy the final Titles (only) that you are interested in into your clipboard, then use the Job Spy GUI Tool "Search for Book Title List Currently in System Clipboard" to find all of the matching Calibre Books.
