Oil continues to dominate headlines as well as investors' psyches, but there are plenty of other stories putting particular stocks on the front-burner.

The United Autoworkers Union's 11-week strike looks to be coming to an end due to an increased wage offer from American Axle (AXL Quote) and a three-year "buy down." The strike, which began in February, has crippled production at about 30 General Motors (GM Quote) assembly plants in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, resulting in thousands of layoffs at other parts supply companies.

Meanwhile, the nation's largest airline carrier, American, has not achieved such resolve. Negotiators for union mechanics and bag handlers at American Airlines have rejected a contract proposal from American that called for lump-sum payments instead of wage increases. This rejection continues to hurt the struggling company. American's parent, Fort Worth-based AMR (AMR Quote), lost $328 million in the first quarter, due largely to record prices for jet fuel.

In other headline news, Time Warner's (TWX Quote) AOL is "unbranding" itself in an effort to attract a younger audience. Asylum Web site for young men is a creation of AOL along with WalletPop, a personal finance site, Spinner, an indie music site, and StyleList, a fashion site. AOL is hoping that by shedding its brand identity it will lure specialty audiences.

With all of this news out there, we thought it made sense to take a look at Friday's Top 10 Most Searched Stocks on TheStreet.com and find out what Jim Cramer's take has recently been on them.

These stocks could be in the news for a number of reasons. Some require immediate attention while others may not. But it never hurts to hear what Cramer (or any of the other professional investors on the site) has to say about them. The key is to gather as much information as you can in order to make the most informed investment decisions you can make.

Despite China Precision Steel (CPSL Quote) and Solarfun Power (SOLF Quote) skyrocketing on Friday and proving last week to be among the most-searched stocks on the site, we'll kick it off today with Yahoo! (YHOO Quote).
