I see that the -w or --word switch was added to the ausearch but how it it used? The man pages claim:
String based matches must match the whole word.
But I have been trying
ausearch -w failed and variation of that but only get the message
ausearch -if audit.log.3 -w failed
failed is an unsupported option

It is used in addition to other matching. If you were to try this search:
ausearch --start today -f va
it will match any file that has va anywhere in it - for example /var/run would
match. But if you change it to this:
ausearch --start today -f va -w
now, /var/run would no longer match. It would insist on the whole file path to
be va.

You would just use "ausearch -sv no" to find failed records. Some search
options do not do partial matches. The -w option does not take an argument.

In terms of devices, ausearch as it is now can only search for terminal names.
No one has ever asked for search for a device, so its never been added. And
generally what is searchable in ausearch also winds up as a report type in
aureport.
So, what would be the use case for this?

When running "ausearch -i", does this read both
the /var/log/audit/audit.log and the rotated log files in the same
directory? Thanks.

It does, unless you specify the "-if <FILE>" option.
Remember: if called from a cron script, use the "--input-logs" option.
