Cannot get albums for an artist in Spotify Apps API

I'm trying to get the list of albums for an artist in an app using the Spotify Apps API. The documentation says that there is a getAlbums method in the Artist class which will get the albums for the artist:

http://developer.spotify.com/download/spotify-apps-api/reference/8a6410b5e6.html

However, when I use this in my code I get the error:

Uncaught TypeError: Object artist name has no method 'getAlbums'"

Here is the code I am using:

console.log(artist);
var a = artist.getAlbums(function(albums) {
    console.log(albums);
});

Checking in the Console, the variable artist is definitely an Artist class. Am I missing something, or is this method not yet implemented (or removed)? I believe I am using the latest preview version (0.8.2.572.geb65f9ac).

This was mistakenly removed from a recent update. It's in our log to get it put back in again as soon as we reasonably can.

Use models.Search:

var sp = getSpotifyApi(1);
var models = sp.require('sp://import/scripts/api/models');

var search = new models.Search('Rihanna');

search.observe(models.EVENT.CHANGE, function() {
    var results = search.albums;
    console.log(results);
});

Here is more documentation about models.Search: https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/apps/docs/beta/833e3a06d6.html
