Compare inputlookup and index search

Hi,

I have a lookupfile that contains a list of hosts, (one column named hosts), this list maybe subject to change.

I want to complete a search that will compare this lookup file to hosts in any specific index and return a table showing ok or missing if there is no match.

All searches I have attempted so far are happy to return either or, is the only option here to rename the field in the hostfile or any suggestions on how to complete this?

host (from lookup file)host (from index)match
host1host1ok
host2 missing
host3host3ok
