How to filter/query a FilteringSelect in Dojo

I'm trying to change the query of a filtering select's data store, such that the dropdown only displays the values that were queried with a query such as this (note that I can't even get it to work with a non-regex query):

var query = {
    id: new RegExp("^(1|12)$")
};

See this JSFiddle.

Note that I do not want to fetch the result set using

dropdown.store.fetch({query: query, onComplete: function(results) {} });

I want the results to filter in the dropdown.

Despite viewing this and several other related questions, I haven't been able to get a solution that works for a FilteringSelect as I intend. Any help is appreciated.

To do what I was trying to do, you have to query the FilteringSelect, not the store.

dropdown.query.id = /^(1|12)$/;

But even better, this works for all queries, not just regex, since the function can be anything:

dropdown.query.id = {
   test: function (id) {
          return [1, 12].indexOf(id) > -1;
   }
};

Note: This query property is inherited from dijit/form/_SearchMixin. See the properties of FilteringSelect.
