Duplicate/Matching Rule work with Visual Force Page

We are trying to add logic to prevent duplicate items on orders.  It was suggested we use a Duplicate / Matching rule on the order item object.  Unfortunately the Visual Force page we have where the user enters items does not seem to use the Duplicate / Matching rule because we are still able to enter duplicates with no message or error.

Is there something that needs to be done to enable the Visual Force page to utilize the rules?

Harsh Singh - thank you for the response.  By writing a trigger - are you indicating NOT using the Duplicate / Matching rule to stop duplicates - and code the validation through APEX or something?  Or is there a way to enable the Duplicate / Matching rule on the Visual Force Page through a Trigger?

Thanks for any clarification you can provide.
