Filter icon missing from Chrome Developer tools console?

Typically when I view the console tabs within Chromes developer tools I have the option to select the "filters" icon that will allow me to filter for specific messages. This past week I noticed this was missing.

Open developer tools > select "console" > next to "clear console" is where the "filters" button should be.
