Help adding a key word search to my script

Hello:

I need help adding a key word search to my bash script. I have the following script. My boss whats the user to be able to add a search word e.g. unknown failures for the script to search the logs through and find the instances. I had originally done it so it grepped for unknown failures, but now he wants it to accept a key word. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
