Select certain terms in an expression
I would like to have a function to select terms containing q[i] terms in expressions, for example, for an expression
a q[i]+b +c q[j]+d
I would like the function to return
a q[i]+c q[j]
as result. Also at the same time, for a bare
q[i]
the same function would return
q[i]
How to realize such function? Thanks

expr = a q[i] + b + c q[j] + d;
f = DeleteCases[#, Except[_. _q], If[Head[#] === q, 0, 1]] &
f @ expr
a q[i] + c q[j]
f @ q[i]
q[i]
Alternatively,
f2 = Select[#, Function[x, If[Head@# === q, True, Not @ FreeQ[x, _q]]]] &;
f2 @ expr
a q[i] + c q[j]
f2 @ q[i]
q[i]
This realize the first requirement, but for the bare $q[i]$, it returns $q$

thanks, from your answer, I also got confused about how the Select and Cases handle the List argument, see the question I just post here mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/189270/…

fn[x_. y_q + z_.] := x y + fn[z]
_fn = 0;
a q[i] + b + c q[j] + d // fn
q[i] // fn

f = DeleteCases[#, Except[_. _q], If[Head[#] === q, 0, 1]] &
f @ expr
