123 + 45*6*7 - 8 + 9

Generate is maybe a bit wrong - search ;-)

char = CharacterRange["1", "9"]
type = {"+", "-", "*", "/", ""}
RandomSeed[1992]
r = Table[StringJoin[Riffle[char, RandomChoice[type, 8]]], {1000000}];
e = ToExpression[#] & /@ r;
p = Position[e, 2014]
Union[Extract[r, p]]

1*2-3+4*567*8/9, 12*3+45*6*7+89, 12*34*5-6*7+8+9

7 + 6 - 5 + (4 x 321) yields 2012.
