I have thousands of scanned documents, and I need to know which ones have optical character recognition (OCR) and which ones don't.
I don't have the ability to open each document by itself to check.
I have ABBYY FineReader 16
Apparently there is such an option, but I couldn't find where to do it.
Is there any way to check all my scanned documents and tell me which ones do not have OCR?
Or is there any such software in the world at all?

Ask in an ABBYY forum. There is no metadata flag in aPDF file that conveys such an information.

With Adobe Acrobat you can check for searchable text.

Maybe I didn't explain myself correctly I know that I can tell with Adobe Acrobat that I have searchable texts.
But I need something completely different.
I need to know which document out of my 10000 documents has no searchable text.
How can I know this without opening each document by itself to check?

You get also the documents which doesn't have searchable text.
