search serialised meta_value for date value?

Don’t serialize the search value, just use 'value' => '2011-09-16' 'compare' => 'LIKE'.

Otherwise you’re essentially looking for;

a:1:{i:0;s:10:"2011-09-16"}

Which of course doesn’t actually match anywhere in; 

a:2:{i:0;s:10:"2011-09-16";i:1;s:10:"2011-09-17";}
