custom function to highlight keywords

Time to time I have to look at huge log files for certain key words.
So, I wrote a small lisp function to highlight the keywords. I figured
some of the syntax from looking at few lisp codes.

The function high-on1 works fine. The function high-on2 does not work.
Can some one point out what I am doing wrong. Thanks.


(defun high-on1 ()
        (setq my-keywords '(("\\(setq\\|font-lock\\|keywords\\)" 
        (0 my-new-face))))
        (setq font-lock-keywords (append font-lock-keywords my-keywords))
)

(defun high-on2 ( expname)
        (interactive "Bexpname: ")
        (setq my-temp (concat "\\(" expname "\\)" ))
        ;; Not sure about the line below...
        (setq my-keywords (my-temp (0 my-new-face)))  
        (setq font-lock-keywords (append font-lock-keywords my-keywords))
)
