Else this awk approach might work, but - like all other proposals above - it needs to exclude file.txt from being looked into for matches. This can be achieved by either having it in a different directory path, or by applying "extended pattern matching" with the extglob shell option set (man bash). Try
Code:
$ shopt -s extglob
$ awk 'FNR == NR {T[$1]; next} {for (t in T) if ($0 ~ t) T[t] = 1} END {for (t in T) print t (T[t]?"|found":"|missing")}' file.txt !(file.txt)

Cutting further down process count:
Code:
grep -hirof file.txt * | sort -u | tee >(grep -vHif- file.txt) | sed '/^.*:/ {s///; s/$/|missing/; b;}; s/$/|found/'

Still I'd like to strip it down a bit, given your system allows for "process substitution" and the relevant / applied grep options. Try:
Code:
grep -hirof file.txt * | sort -u | tee >(grep -vif- file.txt | sed 's/$/|missing/') | sed '/|/!s/$/|found/'

Definitely agreeing with you Smilie
I just shook my head when I saw it ha ha!
I just thought, do what they say and trust it Smilie
