Is this grammer right and why?

Hi everyone,

I'd appreciate your help. I find this sentence in a text book

'Facts that took ages to find at our local livrary can now be found just about instantly.'

This shouldn't be

'Facts that took ages to be found at our local livrary can now be found just about instantly.'?

I'm puzzled. Please advise.


Regards,

[1] "Facts that took ages to find at our local library can now be found just about instantly".

[2] "Facts that took ages to be found at our local library can now be found just about instantly".

Is there something in the surrounding text / context that you think motivates the use of [2] in preference to [1]?
