Yes there are ... but before you leap in, do you want the 'small
dots' (or equivalent) to respond to user clicks etc?
That is another whole layer of application ... it can be done, but
appreciate that it is complex.
Whether you actually need it, depends on if you are expecting your
users to be looking at searches with a hundred or a thousand results
on one map.  With a hundred results it is much easier to develop
interaction with ordinary marker functions.
