So:

```Python
q: Union[str, None] = Query(default=None)
```

...makes the parameter optional, with a default value of `None`, the same as:

```Python
q: Union[str, None] = None
```

And in Python 3.10 and above:

```Python
q: str | None = Query(default=None)
```

...makes the parameter optional, with a default value of `None`, the same as:

```Python
q: str | None = None
```
