How to find secondary IP addresses from a knife search

I was going through chef, and when this part came where search queries can be put inside the recipe files, I am facing a problem when I try to fetch the secondary IP addresses of a node. When I try to get the primary IP address, I can get is as 

>> knife node show web1 -a ipaddress
web1:
  ipaddress: 10.0.2.15

But when I try to fetch the secondary IP address, I could see that the key itself is the secondary IP.

>> knife node show web1 -a network.interfaces.eth0.addresses
web1:
  network.interfaces.eth0.addresses:
    08:00:27:6E:B1:DB:
      family: lladdr
    192.168.10.43:
      broadcast: 192.168.10.255
      family:    inet
      netmask:   255.255.255.0
      prefixlen: 24
      scope:     Global
    fe80::a00:27ff:fe6e:b1db:
      family:    inet6
      prefixlen: 64
      scope:     Link
      tags:

How can I extract the secondary IP field directly in this case, which comes as 192.168.10.43 ?

knife search and knife node show display the full object data and are not intended for scripting. We offer knife exec for simple Ruby scripts or libraries like chef-api or PyChef for more complex things.
