i could write a sql query but is there a way to do this search from the UI?

Since sql is probably your best bet, the sql is pretty straight forward.
SELECT c.display_name,
g.name,
count(*)
FROM civicrm_group_contact gc,
civicrm_contact c,
civicrm_group g
where gc.contact_id = c.id
and gc.group_id = g.id
and gc.status = 'Added'
group by 1
having count(*) = 1
If you're trying to count the number of groups each contact is in (and select only those with a single group) then to SQL you shall go!

yes, but your solution makes the assumption that all contacts belong to one or more groups May 27, 2015 at 5:14

I edited my answer down following Lobo's comment. Its not reasonable (although it might actually be possible) to use the Custom Search Include/Exclude to complete this task. May 27, 2015 at 19:24
I think you'll have to model this as a custom search (i.e. embed your sql query in a custom search). Not sure if your description includes smart groups, in which case the problem is a bit more complicated.
